A Trip to the Zoo...













Recently we decided to make a little trip to the zoo before it gets too cold. I hadn't been since high school, and I Chris hadn't been since before his mission. We figured it would be fun, even though Landon wouldn't remember it, or care all that much...but he is always content when there are new things around to see. They were featuring the "Ghost of the Bayou" which is a rare white alligator. I guess there are only like 8 in the world or something. It was on loan from a zoo in Lousiana so we wanted to go and take a look before it was gone. Even though he was in a cage, it was a little uneasy having an alligator stare you in the eyes with only a few inches of glass to separate us. However, it was probably the most mellow alligator I have ever seen. Didn't seem to care much that there were a million people around.







It was so much fun to see Landon stare at all the different animals. I was so glad I remembered my camera! (unlike the 4th of July, which I am still kicking myself for) It was a really fun day and it made me feel like a kid again.

FUN! Such cute pictures! We actually just went to the Tucson Zoo on Friday. I would have posted about it, but my computer is broken. I'm stuck with Jake's lap top to feed my blog addiction. Landon is so cute! All our pictures of Lydia are in the stroller, she's going to wonder if she ever got held when she's older.
