The fountain is really neat too! Check it out...
Outside of the reptile house a quick family picture in front of the statue!
It was a really hot day when we went to the zoo, you can tell by the animal pictures! This guy is headed in the water.
Well, you know those guys like it hot!!
You can tell she's resting lazily in the heat
Kari & Mom by the Giraffe!
This flamingo was showing off for a female, and there was another male who let him have it- it was funny- but I really like this shot.
FYI A flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha and beta-carotene!!
Grandma, Kari & Gabe with the elephant!
FYI: Elephants flap their ears a lot when it's hot because they have tons of blood vessels in their ears, by flapping their ears they cool the blood and the cooled blood is circulated back into their bodies!
I love the way the elephants cool themselves! It's so cute!!
Taking a dip to cool off!!
Gabe got his face painted like a mouse!!
Grandma posing with our little face painted mouse!!
One more with Grandma!!
Jeremy got a nice photo of the eagle this time.
a mommy prairie dog with her two babies!
The tortoise's are soooooooooooo cool!
Jeremy caught this guy in the middle of a step... I know, not too hard with a tortoise, but it still looks cool to me!!
