Zoo Part Deux

Today was such a beautiful day, so the kids and I took in the Topeka zoo for the second time this Summer. Braylon was a bit more independent and adventurous this time around. He wanted to walk by himself, rather than cruise along in the stroller. Much to my surprise, we did fairly well and were able to see everything in just under 2 hours.

Nearly all of the animals were out and about enjoying the nice weather; we got some great, up close looks. The exception was the mama giraffe and baby Hope. Hope is still wearing casts; however, it was posted that she is now wearing soft casts and is building strength in her hind legs. She was really playful and bouncing around today. For her protection, they have baby Hope and her mother separate from Daddy, so they were inside today.

We don't know this little guy, but he and Braylon hit it off at the tiger exhibit and were instant friends. I felt like I needed to set up a play date for another day, they were having such a good time together!

This grumpy guy, on the other hand, didn't seem to enjoy our company!

The orangutan on top was playing peek-a-boo with Braylon. He would literally hide his face and then peek out from behind it. Braylon thought it was so fun :) We really had the best time! The zoo never gets old!!
