Jacksonville Zoo June 2007

Jeremy's brother Brian and his wife, Michele, were in Orlando visiting her sisters. Since we were so close, we all met in Jacksonville for a day trip to the zoo. We had the best time! Not sure where Ty got all his energy, but he made it the whole day without a nap and he barely even ate lunch. It was nice to see Brian and Michele again. Maybe the next time we met them at the zoo they will have some of their own children!
Here's Ty being held by Uncle Brian for a better look (at something). Here's Uncle Brian trying to feed Ty to the extremely large Gorilla! Jeremy doesn't seem to care, but I'm keeping a close eye on the situation.

Eli is getting a bit of love from Uncle Brian.

Ty on the boardwalk.
Ty heading down the slide. That slide is solid concrete. Good thing Jeremy was at the bottom; he sacrificed a finger to have Ty's head!

Ty had a good time going down the slide with Uncle Brian.
Ty found a bird and chased it down the sidewalk.

Ty and Dad at lunch in the zoo.

Here are a couple of snakes. Both very deadly; a rattle snake and a Green Mamba. Scary!!

Otter in the Water!! Ty enjoyed saying that the rest of the day.
Rino taking a swim.

Jaguar taking a nap. If only he had Ty's energy!!
Funny little flightless bird!

Here we all are; a large group at the zoo.

Here's Ty feeding a Giraffe. He was very interested in the animal but a bit concerned about that chewing.

Even Eli was having a good time that hot day at the zoo.

Here's how Ty cooled down; like an elephant but without the trunk (he has mom with a water bottle instead).

King of the birds!

I don't know what these are.
During our lunch break we decided to toss the kids! It was a crowd pleaser.
