Lions and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My!!!

Saturday we went to the Reid Park Zoo here in Tucson. It was a beautiful day (I think it was 85 degrees) and we had a lot of fun. Joshua and Elyssa had never been to a zoo before so they were very amazed at seeing all of the animals. In fact, we decided to forgo the stroller and just let them walk around and explore. They did great with that and really got a lot closer look than if they had been in their stroller. All the kids liked going in an enclosed cage to see the birds. Surprisingly, Joshua was scared of the lions, tigers, bears and jaguars. Elyssa was fine, but Joshua actually started crying when he saw them. He was okay if they were behind glass, but if they were just behind a fence he didn't want anything to do with them.







Joshua loved being stroller-free. He really had fun climbing up on the fences for a closer look.
