Our trip to the Balitmore Zoo

Finally after talking of going to the zoo for 3 years , we had set in stone plans to go on the 17th of July... it turned out to be an extremely hot day.. 93 and humid. The day started off with Carter waking Jason and I around 3 A.M. to tell us his tummy hurt.. not a good sign. He had a few battles with the stomach bug that has been so lovely to bless us several times over the last 2 weeks. He was determined to go to the zoo so we went.. He did throw up on the way down but was fine the remainder of the day.. Thanks to God ! We all all a great time. We took Cailan & Lacey with us.


They have a new feature there where you can get up close and personal with the Giaraffe to feed them.. that was a big hit with everyone.


The Biggest reason I wanted to go to Baltimore over Philly was becasue of Samson.. the baby Elephant. He just turned 4 mths. old. He is only out in the yard for 2 hrs..
(10-12). Well we got there around 11 a.m. ate lunch before we went in.. we had less than 30 min. to get to the other side of the park to see him.. we made it.. thanks to the tram service.


The had some wonderful caves to explore in. the first set was for a little turle area. Once you walked into the cave they had peep hole like things for you to look in and then you see the turtles who were actually on top of the cave .. it was really neat.


We saw many beautiful creatures... 2 white Rhinos, a leapord, a cheetah, penquins, a porcupine, some really neat birds, all kinds of snakes, chimps((they were soo cute)),and much more...Everyone enjoyed the beautiful day we had and my family can't wait to go back in the fall with Uncle Nunner and his family !!
