The boys have been doing well on their chores, so we rewarded them with an outing to the zoo. They had some fun things set up for "boo at the zoo," although we didn't actually go to that (pricey). The highlights from this trip were feeding the fish, watching the condors swoop from one perch to another, the rattlesnakes, and hay jumping. We bought a membership to the zoo, which is nice because we don't feel like we have to see everything in one outing. We just took our time, knowing we could just come back again another time and see something else. My favorite is still the elephants.
I was amazed at how long they stood and watched the condors - they are pretty neat creatures. It was also fun to see them feed the fish - we didn't have any coins for the machine for the food, but the boys discovered that several had dropped on the ground near the machine. They had a great time picking up pieces off the ground. "Look! I found another one..." Guess we should carry 50 cents with us next time.
Loved watching Owen jump on the hay bales:

My favorite picture is the boys standing in front of the skeletons :)
Maybe you already know about this, but there is a playground (over by the train ride) that has an artificial turf hill. Take a couple of pieces of cardboard with you next time and the kids can sled down on it. That's Warren's favorite activity at the zoo. Forget the animals! :)
