Riverbanks Zoo & Gardens

We had a beautiful morning at the zoo! The kids and I got there early this morning to beat the heat, that way we could be home for naps. I had a great day with my two lovelies and enjoyed watching the excitement on their faces with each new animal. Hope to go back with Aaron!

Watching the turtles - I think this might have been their favorite

Cute as a bug!

My LOVELIES!!!

AMAZING giraffe exhibit ~ you could feed them lettuce from your hand.

As I bent over to pick up Claire so she could pet the giraffe, the giraffe licked my head. It was quite the scene :)

Claire - trying to get IN with the zebras!

My son, who is scared of EVERYTHING, fed the goats TWICE all by himself!!!
