A Day at the Zoo

Today, we headed north to Tucson and visited the zoo. We had been just a couple of weeks ago when we participated in their Halloween festival there. But since it was at nighttime, there were no animals out. We knew we wanted to take them back when we could see the animals :) Today was the perfect day! The weather was nice and sunny and a little warm. We all had on shorts which I think it just funny considering we are only a few weeks away from celebrating Thanksgiving. Only in Arizona I say, ha!

We ended up getting a year long membership to the zoo. They give a 20% military discount so we were able to get the membership for a great deal! It only takes around an hour to get there and was well worth the drive. The kiddos loved it! All the animals were out and active. We did one of the big loops and then stopped at the cafe for lunch. Another perk having the membership is you also receive 10% off your purchase at the cafe and at the gift shop. After lunch, we finished up the trail and saw so many animals! Our favorites were the giraffes and the elephants. The giraffes were definitely the most active and friendliest. I was able to catch some great pictures of them. The zoo had a whole herd of elephants and they were very active as well :)

We loved seeing all the animals and will definitely be back soon! It made for a great family fun day :)
