The Zoo

We had a special treat on Monday when our friends, the Ylitalos, took us to the Knoxville Zoo! The kids had a great time. We hadn't been to the zoo in a long time, so it was alot of fun. It is a nice zoo. They have a play area for kids with a carousel, slides, and a huge sandbox (which I usually try to avoid) and even some water to play in. We saw alot of animals. They have a new exhibit of butterflies. It's a big screen house you walk through like a garden, and there are butterflies flying all around. It was very neat! Judson got most excited about the camel...which of course he called "doggy."


This is Josiah with the zebra...only the zebra moved! Oops!

There's a tiger out there!

This cow is not real. Do not try this at home!

Oh no...we forgot our cowboy hats and boots!

This was near the end of our zoo adventure when no one wanted any more pictures!

A sure sign of a fun-filled day!

  1. I enjoyed seeing the photos and catching up on your family's news. The boys have grown so much since I have seen them, but they are as cute as ever.
