Expensive Easter Egg Hunt

That didn't even happen. We went to the Wildlife World Zoo today. We've been to the Tiburón Restaurant before that's located at the zoo, but this was our first visit to the zoo itself. Our main reason for going was so Caitie could participate in their Easter Egg Hunt. Her age group was scheduled for 1:30pm, of which we were a few minutes late, so she missed out. If you decide to visit this zoo, be prepared to part with some serious cash... talk about expensive! Even though they charge too much for admission and food, we did enjoy our visit. Below are some pics from our visit to the zoo.

This first pic was taken the night before; Caitie and I colored Easter eggs.

Here's the entrance to the zoo, which includes an aquarium as well. I took this pic when we left the zoo, but decided to show it at the beginning.



They have a carousel. This was the first thing Caitie wanted to do; no surprise there. She wanted on the rabbit, of course. She had 'bunny' on the brain. ha

I don't remember the name of this cute little animal. I wanted to bring it home; it would have fit in my purse. Talk about cute!

Here's my favorite animal to view at the zoo... the giraffe. It looks like they're doing some kind of team dance.

You can feed the giraffes...

He's not spitting at us, he's sticking his tongue out hoping for some food...

Of which Caitie was happy to oblige.

We saw this train while feeding the giraffes...



We then decided to take a train ride.

We then went to view the aquarium.

Caitie held and touched some starfish.

Seahorses in love... awww...

We loved the Stingray pool. We put our fingers in the water, when we did this, the Stingrays would come up and we were able to pet them. We stayed for quite a while. This is Michael petting a Stingray while Caitie looked on.

This one was coming up towards me; I got a quick pic before petting it.

After leaving the aquarium we headed to the gift shop, and then headed home. Caitie is wearing the top that matches the dress and hat in the previous post. I didn't get a good pic of it, but decided to show this pic since it shows the back of the top, which I think is really cute and shows the flowers that match the dress.

We were in a hurry to get to the zoo, so we didn't get a chance to give Caitie her Easter baskets until we got home, which was evening by then. Those aren't all Caitie's Easter baskets, two of them are, plus the bubble bucket and books, but the basket on the left was for me(michael surprised me). :)

As you can see in the pic above and in the pic below, Caitie picked out an alligator, or crocodile, not sure which it is, hat and stuffed animal in the zoo gift shop.

Since Caitie missed out on the Easter Egg Hunt at the zoo, we hid the eggs from her Easter basket in the backyard for her to find; we had to hurry since the sun was going down.
