Cooling Off with Friends

Since it stays warm well into November here, even the zoo has splash pads to cool off in. I took the kids back in October with some friends.

I think the kids spent a good majority of the time here, at the stingray bay.

This splash pad area is really neat.....they have a cave and a couple little slides.......the kids just kept going around and around.

The boys liked this little stream that went around the outside.


There were 3 peacocks just roaming around.....I don't recall them being out, so close to people before.....the kids were fascinated by them.

We had to really watch them so that they didn't put the water in their mouths.......EEEEEWWWWW!!!

Of course Sidney, my tomboy-princess, found the mud at the back of the splash pad & just had to get it all over :-)

Then we were off to see the squirrel monkeys. We saw SO many of them up close!

The kids always love seeing the elephants, they are a must see every time we go.

It was fun to go with just a small group & not have to get anywhere in particular......we actually didn't see too many animals this trip......it was more about the kids playing.
