Our Trip to the Zoo!

My husband was on vacation this week and we decided to take our youngest daughter to the zoo Monday morning. She went when she was about 7 months old...but no memories of it of course!
My favorite animals were the penguins....these are Humboldt penguins that live on the west coast of South America. They are small, maybe 2 feet tall.
I used the action setting on my camera and was able to catch these wonderful underwater shots! Enjoy!

This is Suri....one of the zoo's elephants. She turns 40 years old this year! Caitlin was able to touch her...she was very fascinated. The keeper was giving Suri jelly beans as a treat!!

A woodchuck that took up residence under one of the rock walls near the tiger exhibit. He (or she) was just chilling out on the pile of rocks in front of his home.

This life-size tiger is always a favorite stop! Caitlin was a little bit hesitant at first, then she suddenly wanted to get on. I just love her smiles!
