Trip to the Zoo

We recently purchased a family membership to the Little Rock Zoo and plan on going much more often from now on. One of the benefits of the plan is free or discounted admission to other zoos across the country. Fortunately, there are several great zoos within just a few hours of Little Rock. The Memphis, St. Louis, KC, Tulsa, OKC, and Dallas zoos to name a few. Most offer of these actually offer free admission.

A minor rant: We usually go in the afternoons only to find many animals like the Elephants and Rhinos inside their shelters being fed for hours at a time. The zoo entrance closes at 4:00 and since they insist on closing so early year round, we wish they'd feed the animals after they close to the public. I guess we need to start going earlier in the morning.

Here's a few photos from our latest trip to the zoo a couple of days ago. Although it was very hot, the hottest day of the year up to that point, we still had a really great time. Somehow Chris always manages to escape being photographed!
