Montgomery Zoo, Alabama

Olivia did not have school on Monday so we decided to take a road trip. Montgomery Zoo is only about an hour away so it was a good little trip. This zoo has some of the most activity I have ever seen in the animals and so many little babies! They were all so adorable! Olivia had a great time and walked most of the zoo herself. She is really catching on to all of the animals! We had a great day!

I never turn down a chance to get my picture taken and this picture was taken by Olivia!

This black bear was nessled in a corner until a zookeeper tempted it with a bamboo stick and then she was on the move. I was cool seeing it move and have a snack.



We had already visited the lions and got a very good look at the female but as we were walking back through the zoo we heard the male roaring and it was intense and very cool. Then I got a great photo of him!




I think everyone can imagine who's back side this is!




We took the train ride and in the far corner of the zoo we were able to view these absolutely beautiful horses and all of them together was super neat!





This leopard was the coolest thing ever. He was pacing like mad because there was an eagle or hawk being trained to land on a perch nearby and I think he was looking for a snack...poor thing- but its coat was so pretty!






Here is a one of the babies that we were able to see and it was sooooo cute! I love feeding the giraffs but we missed the time...but they were very close and easy to see and watch!

Some really cool lizards and snakes were moving all over! What I like best is that my camera really took some good shots and the colors were so amazing!

The zoo has a BOO ZOO on the weekends and there were tons of decorations. This one of course made the cut for Olivia to get a picture with! DORA!!!



The other day we were talking about what her favorite zoo animal was and she said it was the flamingos...so here is one of her favorite animals!



These spider monkeys were pretty cool. There was a little baby carrying a stick around with its tail and he kept trying to get it through where is wouldn't go and it was funny to watch!
