livin like a bea...: Zoo time

Onto Tuesday of my days off. We woke up and took a nice run to the post office and park. SO NICE to be able to do that in the morning. We met a cutie at the park too, who happens to live a block over from our street. So the girls even had a little friend there named Harper. We were there for a good 1.5 hours, LOVE those days. Then we headed home for lunch and to go to the Turtleback Zoo. We were going with Mags too so waited for her to be done with her classes for the day.

Both girlies napped on the way there, score! But we got there and they wanted to ride the train first, which was closed for maintenance. BOO! It didn't ruin our day, no worries. So we headed uphill first. They do look a little ticked though, don't they?! LOL!

We ran into this guy on the way uphill.

We went to see the leopards. LOVE them, seriously just so beautiful.

We were so focused on the one pacing around this guy that he blended in. Mya pointed him out to us, for reals. Look, there's 2 in there, Mags and I were like, ummm no there's just one, where's the other? RIGHT THERE MOM! LOL, ohhhhhh, yes you're SO right.

Llama llama

The chunky piggie.

Mags wouldn't even look into see the pig. LOL! But she did pose with Ash.

After we saw the big horse take a nice giant poop on our way down to the pony rides. Mya got on this little pony.

Ashley's turn.

The bird sanctuary is usually my favorite part. However, since the park was so dead. It was like they just gave these birds some sort of crack and they were ALL over us. It started to freak Mya out, then me. Mags was already a little hesitant about it to begin with. You buy this stick that they have bird feed on, if you hold it out, the birds will fly up and sit on it to eat. Well, this particular day, there were like 2 birds trying to get on and if you were just walking to another spot, with the stick by your side, they'd even try to land on it then. Not to mention some of them like fighting on your stick to get the food. WACK!

This was right when we got in though. Mya was helping Ash.

Ash loved it.

Mya did too at this point.

All done, onto the next stop.

A little photo booth action before moving on. We did the 4 of us, then the girls did one alone! TOO FUNNY!

The cheetahs were out today! I love cheetahs and leopards, just such beautiful animals. When we got up there, one of them was literally pacing back and forth behind the glass, the girls were loving it. I was thanking god the glass was there.

Seriously looks like the cheetah is staring her down.

My little

Mountain lion was next and it was his nap time.

More fun!!

Check out how huge that turtle is.

Watching the wolves, they're crazy looking.

Cheese

This may have been their favorite part. I think they went 3 times. The animals are just so cute on them too, all zoo animals, not really any horses I don't remember.
