The Wild Animal Park

Katie and I went to The Wild Animal Park a couple of weeks ago with Jaime and her kids. It was really fun! I haven't been for a long time and it seemed a lot different than I remembered... and man was it hot! The weather was so weird, it was hot and sunny, then all of the sudden it would start raining off and on. But we still had fun! We saw lots of different animals... lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, gorillas, and lots of birds!
I have to say that meerkats are so darn cute! They were one of my favorite animals to watch there. They just dug holes all day and there was always one on the look out.

But my most favorite were the gorillas. They are awesome! There was one that just loved pestering the others. He kept going up to them and pulling the hair on their arms. Then he tried messing with this guy...

He doesn't look too big sitting down, but once he is up you wouldn't want to be anywhere near him. He is huge! They were so funny! I could seriously sit and watch the gorillas all day long!

There were lots of elephants too. A few cute little baby ones, and lots of big ones!

Caleb and Bryce watching the lions...

The "rally monkeys"Jacob dancing to the African music playing, after playing in the water... he is such a cutie pie!The boys were so funny. Everywhere we went they would all say, "Autumn, take a picture of us!" When do boys ever want their pictures taken?

It was such a hot day... but we all had a blast!

Autumn, soooo cute! It is crazy to see how BIG all of the kids are now. I'm kind of doing a quick "check" of everyone's blog and there aren't very many updates since LAST YEAR! *Jaime* The pics are so clear and crisp! You are getting VERY GOOD at that whole PHOTOGRAPHER thing! I have a question for you though, how do you change the font of the workd to go from big to BIG? I like it and want to do it on mine! Let me know. Love ya guys!
