Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium

Day 3 - Sunday, May 24th. Gramma, Grampa, and Grammama took myself, Asa and Lexi to Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium on Sunday along with Gramma & Grampa's foreign exchange student, Fanny (from Mexico) and Fanny's friend, Cami from Chile, South America.

What's a zoo w/o Flamingo's?

Lexi loved the touch-tank in the aquarium. Lexi had no problem touching the sea urchin, horseshoe crab or the starfish. Asa... not so much.
Here's a video of Asa, Lexi, Gramma & Grampa touching (Lexi) and looking (Asa) at the Manta Ray's. Lexi and Gramma liked touching them, they were slimy!
In the car on the way to meet Gramma & Grampa, Asa knew that we were going to the zoo. He asked if we were going to see Lion's, I said "yes". He asked if we were going to see fish, I said "yes". Then he asked if we were going to see lionfish and I told him "maybe". He didn't believe me that there was such as thing as "lionfish". Now he knows...

Freaky white alligator...

Lexi loves her Grammama...

"Pretty bird" says Lexi.



This little guy popped his head out of his hole at just the right moment...

Fun on the Merry-go-Round with Grampa.




We were exhausted by the end of our zoo adventure, but of course we managed to hit the petting zoo before we left. I think the kids liked this part the best!
It started out innocently enough...
Until it tried to eat Lexi's finger!



Here's a video of the kids in the petting zoo...
