The Baltimore Zoo 2008

This spring It hought it would be a good investment to buy memberships to the Zoo and the Aquarium to guarentee we'd always have SOMETHING to do on the dog days of summer. So last week we went to the Baltimore Zoo for the first time and had a blast! This zoo isn't just full of great animals but it is beautifully landscaped and the amenities are well placed. We are officially fans! When going in Kaleb and Izaak agreed they were most looking forward to the monkeys, and Aliza a zebra...well, we weren't dissapppointed in the least! We had a really nice time watching the monkeys eat and Kaleb even practiced his monkey faces! We watched the lemurs too, and they were hilarious! They leap to their sides and it is so humorous! We saw snakes, and penguines, the baby elephant, giraffes...you get the jist, I'm sure!
Here is Izaak standing in an underwater tube designed for you to see the swimming of the river otter...he was no where to be found, but we'll catch him next time!"Look Ma - it's just like the one I caught in our yard!" This was fun for Kaleb and Aliza, you got to slip into a turtle shell and Izaak spins you till you puke! This donkey really tried to EAT Izaak...he was sucking, then started grinding his teeth into Izaak's hand...we were nervous for a minute! Here's Kaleb and Aliza hopping on the lilly pads!
