A trip to the Zoo

One of the many kangaroos
I want that Turkey

The HUGE Porcupines!

Lemurs

I loved the otters too...such sweet little animals


The cute little monkey in the tree with the sloths (very interesting creature)
This is a baby kangaroo...called a "joey"

My friend, Jill and I, decided to take the boys to the local zoo! They had a GREAT time, but it was a little hot for all of us! We saw kangaroos, otters, sloths, monkeys, lemurs, zebras, camels, goats, porcupines, ostrich, tortoise, and some other animals! The kids loved the otters and even got an otter kiss! There was a monkey that would jump on people and loved hair! I wasn't quick enough with the camera when the monkey came to Tag and Ty...darn it! Ty wanted to go pet the African or Asian (can't remember) porcupines and I FREAKED out! I don't think he understood that you had to go a certain direction or be caused great pain! Tag loved the animals and wanted to get as close as he could! I really think he would have chased the turkey into that tunnel...not where I wanted him to be! We would have loved to stay longer, but I was sweating to death and our poor boys cheeks were bright red! We were bad moms and brought no water with us...thank goodness for the misters! Next time we will go in the fall or spring! Summer is just too hot, but we all survived and had a great time!

Who would think you could see all that in Moapa - but then again who would want to in the middle of the summer - next time it has to be below 100 degrees. Thanks for being such a good friend!
