Reston Zoo

It was calling for rain all day but luckily it did not rain at all....these weathermen. It was 75 and cloudy, so perfect zoo weather. After nap we headed over to the Reston Zoo and let me tell you so happy we went. It was empty, seriously only about 30 of us there. And because it was so cool out the animals were all very active, usually we go and they just lay there. Another perk because it was so empty was we got to pet some of the animals. It was a wonderful time and can't wait to make the trip to the big zoo soon. Owen excitedly ran all over the place to greet the next animal.

Watching the Monkeys Swinging

They were really having fun.

Watching the Baby Kangaroo

The girl offered to let us touch him. He was softer than I would had imagined.

Baby Bunnies

The lady let us pet a bunny, Owen chose the white one.

Feeding the Crazy Goats

This one was really hungry.

Owen thought it was funny.

Owen bent over so he could pet the turtle.

Crocodile was a huge hit and we were once again lucky and he even swam from

one side to the other.

Back to Lemurs, Owen watched him grabbing the grass.

We went on the wagon ride and sadly but Owen did not enjoy it. The lady's spill in the beginning freaked Owen out a little because they really warn that the camels will reach in for any food and bags. The camel actually broke Owen's food cup and after that it was all over. He did not want those camels near him and they follow the wagon so it was pretty bad. Even this morning he told me how the camels are bad and broke his cup.

Looks like the Camel is about to spit
On the wagon ride

Tried to get a picture of me and the boys, but no one wanted to join in.

Feeding the camel, look at Owen trying to get away.

Yes I am annoyed that the camels are back.

Please don't eat my baby!

We made it through the camel attack

Owen and Daddy moved to the middle row.

Oh sweet baby snuggles.

Owen raced after some boys to quack at the geese.

For some reason Owen has been obsessed about owls, so we of course had to go say hi to the owl.

Mr Owl

Owen roaring like a lion.

Riding the lion

Riding in the Jeep

Wow, what is up there?
