While we were hiking last week we happened across a few snakes and ever since Joli has been asking to go see more snakes. So today we made a little family trip to the zoo. Joli got see plenty of snakes!
These were just a few of the ones we saw and Joli wasn't the slightest bit afraid. She would put her face right up against the window where the snakes head was!!
We saw a few more things while we were at the zoo, but our main focus was snakes. We saw a big turtle.
There was an actual hippo exhibit but Joli was so facinated by the statues that she didn't even look at the hippo!
In the children's area of the zoo there is a petting area, mostly goats, but Joli always wants to go in. This is about as close as she get to them.
We went into the bug house at the children's zoo and saw this awesome bee colony. There were so many, we were mesmerized.
The new elephant exhibit was finally done and we didn't realize that it was on the other side of the zoo before we promised Joli we'd see elephants. Oh well, we got some good exercise. And the new exhibit was awesome!
Here is one of the giant statues in the new exhibit.
Joli talks about zebras all the time and we're rarely on the side of the zoo that they're in so it was so exciting to see them!
It was a nice short visit that would have been longer except we were hungry and tourist season has begun!

You guys are so lucky to have a world class zoo so nearby and to be able to visit it so often. That first pic reminds me of the snake zoo scene in Harry Potter.
