A Day at the Zoo

Yesterday we got to go to the Waco Zoo. We got up at the crack of dawn, packed up the car and were at the zoo by 9:30 am.

We had so much fun.

We got our map and we were ready to explore.

I have never seen two boys so excited.

We saw all the animals. There were catfish that you could feed that were as big as Alex. They had machines that you put a quarter in and get fish food. These fish actually raise their heads up out of the water to get food.

Freaky.

We saw the otters and there was a slide that you go down through the otters. Well the kids do, Will and I wouldn't fit.

I loved the meerkats, they are so precious, I wanted to take one home. Not really, but they were pretty cute.

Michael had been to this zoo before, so he was our tour guide.

When we ate lunch, he said this is the fly exibit.

Alex was most excited about the reptiles. We spent forever with the snakes and lizzards and fish, but that was ok because it was air conditioned.

Alex had never seen the zoo before, so he was defininately exploring. Animals are his thing!!

There was one section with two teepee's. He walked in one and then came out. He walked in the other and when he came out he said "nope, no indians in there".

We saw the monkeys, the lions and the giraffes.

My favorite is the elephants. I love the elephants. They are so massive, yet so docile.

It is so hard to wrap my brain around the zoo. From the smallest of frogs to the giant elephant, God made them all so perfectly and each created with a specific purpose.

I just stand in awe at creation and in even more awe of our Creator.

God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25

It is good.

And the zoo is good.

I will go back!!!
