Presidents Day at Wildlife World Zoo

Monday the 18th, we spent the day with our daddy at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield. Because our daddy is SO busy with Work and finishing his Masters Degree, we don't get to see him that much, SO..this was a perfect day to have our daddy all to ourselves. Mom, the girls and sweet boy really enjoyed having our daddy all day!
Below is a picture of Malin feeding a giraffe. The zoo has this really great platform that makes it possible to feed the giraffes. Pretty cool!
Below, Savannah and Aubrey being silly for the picture in the petting zoo. And it was the coolest, most friendly petting zoo we've been to so far. The animals were SOOO friendly. And I have to report that Aubrey WANTED to go in the petting zoo and she even PET the goats. A BIG milestone for her. She was once terified of petting zoos and would NOT let me put her down! I think having a dog at our house has helped her to become more confident around animals. Below Aubrey petting a baby goat! The girls feeding the swans The kids especially loved these Tamarin Monkeys. Here is a picture of a mommy with 2 babies on her back.S & A with baby RATS behind them. YUck.
Below, A close up on the baby rats. There was also mole rats, THE GROSSEST things ever, Sloths(hilarious) and TONS more animals that you will never see at the Phoenix Zoo.
Below, with a White Tiger behind. Savvy, Mommy and Aubrey on the merry go round. It was definately one to remember because the music was really scratched and kept skipping, and it actually stayed stuck on one note the WHOLE ride. Baby Boy and the Rhino The girls had fun playing on the kiddie playground.
Just have to mention, there was huge smudge on my lens that I didn't catch until 2 days later, so all the pictures have blurry spots on them. Darnet.

We just went to the Wildlife Zoo yesterday and it was sooo much fun!! Way more interactive than the Phoenix Zoo I think. Our kids loved it and one of the kangaroos had a baby in her pouch and the baby came out it was so adorable!!!! It was definitely a drive but so worth it!

Oh yeah and another thing that I totally recommend is bring cucumbers, we fed them to every single monkey, they would reach out of their cage and grab them, it was so funny they just loved it!! And we gave them cheese, it was awesome!
