13 Reasons why Riley Loves the ZOO

#13- The crazy Turkey that all but stuck his neck out so Riley could touch him.
#12- The Zebra's because they have black and white stripes that according to Riley
"Are just beautiful"

#11- The penguins, because they are so silly when they walk, and they swim in the water, and they make funny noises.

#10- The Tiger. He was pacing like crazy and taking BIG drinks
out of the water fall



#9- The Plastic looking Albino Crocodile. We visited him a few times and I don't think he
ever changed position. Riley also liked the baby Alligators
so much so that we had to buy a toy Alligator for him to bring home

This is the baby. It was the closest I have ever been to a Giraffe
#8- The Giraffes. And what does a Giraffe say according to Riley?
"I got a long neck" (thanks grandpa Dale)


#7- Rhinos because they have big horns on their noses and are just

about the most awesome animal ever.

#6- This CRAZY baby cat that wanted to attack everything in sight


#5- The Carousel that we rode 5 times. Riley rode an Elephant, a Rhino twice,
A Buffalo and a Praying Mantis

#4- Getting your picture taken with an eagle
SWEET



#3- Hanging out with the monkeys. I wanted to bring this
Orangutan home with me until he yawned and I saw his teeth.

#2- The super magical train ride, complete with Buffalo that are behind no sort of cage

and a tunnel which is great for screaming



And Riley's #1 reason for loving the zoo-

ELEPHANTS DUH!!!!

One of our favorites at the zoo is watching the penguins all jump into the water in a row. It is weird how facinating something simple can be :)

Cute pictures! The Zoo is fun. We recently went back and I can't believe how different it is. All of the animals looked so active, too. We went on a hot summer day and all they did was sleep. The picture of the Tiger is gorgeous!

We loved the zoo too. It's funny how excited the kids get over the animals. Of course you can add me to your blogger list. I've been "spying" on yours for a while now. Your family is too cute and it looks like you have a lot of fun with Riley.

Wow what a great time you had. Lily went to Sea World with us last week and loved the dolphins.
