Zoobalation!!

Jack's Mamaw and Papaw got him a Zoo Pass for his birthday and it has certainly been a hot spot for us so far this summer. Jack has been to the zoo with Peyton and Lilly, with Mandi, JT and Jackson, with his Grandma and Grandpa Ravenscroft and with his Mamaw and Papaw and his friends Sam, Addison and Stephanie. Jack really seems to enjoy watching the people as much as the animals. The fish are by far his favorite. I think they are the easiest to see. He saw his first dolphin show recently and got pretty excited when they jumped out of the water!

Here Jack is with Lilly and Peyton our neighbors. Jack and Lilly rode in the wagon all day while I followed Peyton around looking at all the animals! The three of them had a great time together.

Peyton even made friends with one of the goats in the Animal Encounters area where the kids can get up close to some of the smaller animals.

We even got to see the tiger on this trip...which is rare...the tiger is usually hiding in the tall grass.

When we went to the zoo with Mandi, JT and Jackson we got to pet an elephant after it had a bath. That was pretty cool. I had never petted an elephant before either! Here's Daddy doing an elephant impersonation while visiting the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa from OK. After going to the zoo, Daddy and Grandma cleaned Jack up with a bath of his own and then the boy passed out. The zoo can wear a boy out!
