This is the first day of the rest of your life.

Zoo 2008

So, the day couldn't have been more perfect, and all the animals were out hanging around!

Notice the look on his face.............

As he checks out the elephants. Mama elephant and Baby Elephant.

The Hippos were amazing,so gracefull in the water.


Ben made sure to go up and "pat" every single goat in the petting zoo. There was probalby a good twenty of them, and he even petted a few with the stick he found.

What is a trip to the zoo, without a picture in the hippo's mouth?!

This guy was such a thinker!

These was the most amazing thing mine eyes have seen. Five baby cubs born in April this year playing with their Mother, romping around and hassling each other.


We stood right up next to this guy in his cage. He was a beautiful Cheetah! Too bad we didn't have any cheesecurls to give him. HAHA!

Last but not least, checking out the giraffes, while Ben climbs on the fence! I think we are going to have to put this guy in gymanstics some day. He is a monkey!

And my favorite shot of the day!

Cute pictures of Ben at the zoo! Makes me want to take Kien again now that he is a little more aware of his surroundings.

That looks so fun! I can't wait till Skyler is old enough to go. THough the KC zoo isn't nearly as cool. Gotta love the chimps though.
