Who goes to the zoo to see animals?

We went to the zoo the Saturday before last(March 14). We didn't see any animals though, unless you include the train ride that takes you around the zoo to see some of the animals, which we still didn't see many animals, most of them are smart and hide. ha Caitie is more interested in playing with all the new things they have at the zoo now. There's a cave with two slides and a log house with a slide. She played on another slide that's near the water fountains. Slides are popular at the zoo. She played in the water fountains I just mentioned, and she also went on the carousel, she loves ridin' that thing. It was a fun day.

Michael's putting sunscreen on during snack time at the zoo. We always get a snack when we first arrive at the zoo; this gives us the energy we need to get through the day.

Here is one of the few animals we did see. I always have to get a pic of a giraffe. I love 'em.

This is the train we were on when we didn't see many animals. ha

Here is the cave slide. She's climbing the stairs which takes you to the slide. Michael and I went down it once when we first got there, and went down the returning slide as well, of which I slipped and fell on my huge rear... ouch!

Here's Caitie coming down the cave slide.

The cave was packed with kids. Some of them were rude and didn't have much discipline from their parents. It was frustrating for the parents that had well-behaved kids, like our Caitie.

Here she is playing in the water fountains.

This slide is near the water fountains. She likes going down on her belly.

'Getting off the throne'. Does that sound like a good title for this pic?(lame, i know) Love the sun rays streaming across her. This was taken in the swimsuit changing area. Caitie wanted to check it out. Kids can change into swimsuits to run through the water fountains. We didn't bring her swimsuit, but we did take her shoes and socks off.

Here she is on the carousel; her favorite thing to do at the zoo... well, it used to be, I think the cave and log house may be her favorites now.

She went on the carousel twice.

Here is the log house. It's pretty cool, actually.

This is the log house slide. Caitie went down it several times; the last time she went down it, she went on her stomach. We realized afterwards that the girl that went down the slide before her had pee coming through her diaper, which meant it probably got on the slide. Yuck! We don't know if any of it got on Caitie or not.
