Welcome Spring!

Spring weather has finally arrived for us, and I could not pass up a chance to get out and go to the zoo. When we got there Nolan was sound asleep and Rylee wanted to go play at the playground, so we started there. We have never been to the playground at the zoo and it was really cute and Rylee had a blast. After the park Nolan woke up and we went to check on the animals. Sadly, our baby giraffe past away so I had to tell Rylee that "he went to a new zoo!" Luckily that was enough to satisfy her and we moved on to a new topic. The best part of the day were the tigers. The three baby tigers, that are not so little anymore, were right at the front of the cage splashing in their water. Rylee used to be scared of the tigers but today she went straight up front and just stared at them for over 10 minutes. We finished the day on the carousel and Nolan is still not a fan of it, but hopefully he will be by the end of the Summer.


Nolan taking a nap

Climbing the net

Down the snake slide

Laying in a turtle shell

Checking out the elephants
(Love Nolan on his tip toes)

Not wanting to stop looking

The tigers playing

The tiger coming to play with the ball

Up close and personal with the tigers

Excited to ride the carousel

Nolan excited, but the ride has not started

Not quite so excited anymore

Sitting on the big elephant that used to terrify us

Holding Nolan on the elephant
