Chaffee Zoo

Running through the water, no hesitation.
Playing, but trying to stay dry

so happpy!


Here we are on the train, look at how wet Madi is



Riding our horses on the carousel




The baby giraffe, so cute!





attempting to pet a sting ray






They both love to brush the animals







I felt bad for this sheep. Don't think it has ever had a haircut, and lives in Fresno of all places. Hoping he gets a haircut before summer heat sets in!


















We ventured off to the Chaffee Zoo this weekend. The kids have been wanting to go to the zoo for some time and we finally did it. We had a blast, the kids were all wonderful and behaved well. We saw so many animals. It was fun to see the new baby giraffe (not even a week old yet) The heat and hunger set in so we didn't have time to see the whole zoo, but gladly we bought a year membership so we can go as much as we want. Outings as a whole family are so much fun, we sure enjoy spending time together. We were able to go to Playland before the zoo and of course had to ride the train (Carson's favorite) and the Carousel (Madison's favorite). They had the water feature on so of course our kids were in there playing. Madison ran non-stop through the water. Carson was a little hesitant. Madi was completely drenched from head to toe for hours, but it was hot enough that she stayed cool. She kept asking if we could go back to the water and play. We definately had a great day! Everyone quickly took a nap once we hit the car.
