Visit to the local zoo...

Over Memorial Day weekend we had visitors - Mike's brother Matt and his family, Jillian, Anthony and barely-1-year-old Olivia.

These pictures are compliments of Jillian because I never took my camera out. (What's new?!)










Olivia cruisin' the zoo...







Olivia is definitely enjoying the train ride!
Anthony rode the snake...
Isabella chose the zebra...
Gianna chose the tiger. Unfortunately you can't see how much she loves the merry-go-round in this picture because the ride is over. We still hear "ride the tiger!" every few days.
On her first merry-go-round ride she chose the panda, and we still hear "ride the panda!" once in a while!

Olivia rode the dolphin!

Wow, what an array of animals. I'm assuming this zoo is in Chicago?? We don't have much for zoos in Maine - as you can imagine, the peacocks aren't big fans of the snow :). What was the pink flamingo-like bird with the flat bill? Very cool looking. Looks like you all had a blast!

Wow! What an array of animals. Is this zoo in Chicago? What is the pink flamingo-like bird with the flat bill called? Those are very cool looking. Looks like you had beautiful weather for your zoo exploration day!

These pics are great.. was this at our local zoo? I guess if it was, i havent been there in too long, because i had no clue we had so many great animals there! The girls are getting so grown up. Their hair is so long... they're adorable!
