Zoo fun with Friends...

I haven't felt up to braving the heat or crowds of the zoo lately, but when the kids had Friday off before Easter we decided to go, get there early (members can get in an hour before opening) see the newest Orangutan exhibit that just opened, let the kids play in the water and leave.

The Orangutan have been off exhibit for a long time while they built this massive new home for them. It really is huge. You can see them from lots of different angles- it reminded me of San Diego Zoo. That being said, we only have 4 in there and I bet like a dozen could be in there comfy, so I wonder if we are getting more?

After we checked out the Orangutans new home, we went to the Caverns and let the boys play. I think it is so fun that the zoo has these cool down areas. The kids ran around the splash pad, down the slide and under the waterfalls. The water was super cold but it was a hot day so they kids loved it. Thanks Max, Jack, Gus, Crew and Remington for coming to the zoo with us!
We were there under two hours and left right a the crowds were getting bad. Perfect!

I had no idea the zoo had those splash pads! Maybe I will stop avoiding it then!
