It's hard to believe we've been members of the philadelphia zoo for a few years, and this was our first trip to "boo at the zoo"... and now we know we should have gone WAAAAAYYYYY before this. The weather was BEAUTIFUL here in PA... around 65 degrees and nice and sunny... so couldn't have been ANY better. And we were lucky enough to meet up with a few friends from college and their kiddos. Angela and Elyse had several friends their ages... and had a BLAST. Angela and Kate became "instant friends" and walked hand in hand all around the zoo. Elyse enjoyed sharing her snacks with her new friends Anna and Ryan too... and even shared her stroller with Anna at the end. All the kiddos donned their halloween best and trick or treated till their little bodies were all full of candy!!!
Also, a BRAND new attraction at the zoo is the endangered species carousel. It was handcarved in europe and sent here to raise awareness for the "endangered species". It may be the MOST beautiful carousel I have ever seen. Everyone was all smiles on their spin on the new ride. We also got to ride on the zoo train, and the horses. Even Elyse LOVED the horse ride... And of course we couldn't make a trip to the zoo without the petting and kids zoo. Elyse LOVED petting the goats... and even enjoyed feeding one. We were surprised she didn't want to leave after one "very excited goat" actually put his hoof on her face to get her attention, since he saw the food in her hand... those are some smart goats we tell ya!!!
And the last two pics are on the ride home... they were asleep before we were more than 5 mintues out of the zoo....
