A Day at the Philadelphia Zoo

So, in case you weren't sure, Philly was the FIRST ZOO in America. I'm sure you cared to know that. At any rate, Ash, Nat and I all took our kiddies for a day of fun. If not for Chase's FiTs ALL.DAY.LONG, the day may have been perfect. We were close though!

Since I'm a member of the PHX Zoo, we got 50% off admission, which was nice. They still got us for 12 bucks a pop on parking though. Definitely made me appreciate the PHX Zoo that much more!

We had a great day though. Beautiful weather and saw some animals we don't get to see at our zoo here. (Think Hippos and Polar Bears, etc.)

Kind of a dark picture, but the girls definitely stick together!



One of the many fits Chase threw was over NOT wanting to be photographed. The rest of the kids humored us. :)



One of the sweetest things we saw was this mother and her 8 ducklings. They couldn't find their way into this area with a pond..so they were wandering for a while. The actually let the kids get up real close to them though. (At least these ducks aren't contending with the coyotes here in AZ. One day, there are 8, the next day down to 4, the next day down to 1. Poor little ducks...)
