Columbus Zoo

The day after our epic walk around Chicago we decided to torture the kids and make them walk around the Columbus Zoo!!  haha  We couldn't have asked for better weather than what we had both days!!  Perfect temps, slight breeze and overcast........quite enjoyable!!  We arrived as soon as the zoo opened, so we stayed a few steps ahead of the crowds, which was awesome!  The kids did fantastic considering this was day two of walking all day......we're just preparing them for our Disney vacation next year!!  ;}  

Ella couldn't pass up on the pony ride!!

We even got Evan to ride one!!

Feeding time for this big guy!!

Kids just had to pet the snake........I stayed as far away as my camera would allow.  I'm surprised I even walked into the reptile building!!  Yuck!!

A nice little break on the Carousel.

Dino Island had a fun little ride with all these amazing animated dinosaurs......this one even sprayed water at us!!

I love all the beautiful fish!!

Only one elephant the day we were there!!  :{

Another favorite.......gorilla's!!

Baby gorilla.......adorable!!

The manatee was pretty cool.......and huge!!
