Another Trip to the Zoo

We took another trip to the ZOO last week.  Since we have the family membership, I've been trying to get a lot of use out of it.  It really has been worth it!  The weather was very nice last week, so we decided to go on Friday morning.  My mom went with us.  When we arrived at 9:30, there was hardly anyone there, so it was even much more enjoyable!  (Maybe we will go that early all of the time...)  

The baby giraffe was out; it was only three weeks old, I believe.  So cute!  

We also decided to ride the zoo train.  It was not very affordable, but Grandma wanted Levi to ride it, since he loves trains so much.  The train at the zoo is a neat little train; the tour, however, not so much...  It takes you around the outskirts of the zoo where you see the administration building, Washington Street, the 

medical building, and the back of some of the animal exhibits.  Not very exciting, but Levi loved the train ride nonetheless.  

The dolphin show was not very crowded, either, so we got good seats this time.  (Maybe one of these times we'll sit in the splash area.)  We had a great little excursion.  And, when we exited the zoo at around 12:00, the parking lot was almost full and the lines were long.  Guess it pays to get there early!
