zoo may 21

of course while emalie was here we had to take a trip to the zoo! it's one of our favorite places (and that membership thing really comes in handy too!) we had lots of fun with the giraffes and elephants (real and statue), and we liked visiting with the gorilla and chimps too (one old chimp threw a banana peel and a couple pebbles at us!)

we've always got to stop to play with/on the elephants

 these guys are huge! and they were moving a lot more than usual (though that's still not saying a whole lot).


these galapagos tortises were a BIG favorite this trip, we took lots of pics with them

afton played photographer for the last part of our trip, so there were a lot of interesting pictures, here's some of my favoites: 

afton was very excited to find some of those very rare flowers, dandilions, so she took a picture of them.

 

aunt emalie, from afton's perspective, i thought she did a pretty good shot!
