A trip to the zoo

In early August we took a trip to the Jacksonville Zoo, thanks to a discount ticket day. The last time we were there was for Lily's third birthday. Jared had to do an early morning MRI scan, but he was back in time to eat breakfast with us at 8 a.m., then we packed a lunch and got on the road. The forecast for the day said overcast and high chance of rain (which is pretty typical for any day right now) so we thought we might get rained out. But the weather was actually great since the clouds made it not too hot and there was only the occasional sprinkle. We saw all the usual zoo animals: the big cats, the primates, the African animals, etc. The children really enjoyed petting the sting rays. The zoo is kind of small, so we finished up the excursion by three in the afternoon and headed home.


Kind of a funny picture--Oh no! The turtle is on Jared's feet! 




Zach really wanted to see a bear!
