Las Vegas Zoo

 
 We had a great visit with my family last weekend, and were able to go to the zoo on Saturday morning.  It is a small zoo, but you can get really close to the animals and the girls just loved it!  There were pigeons and chickens EVERYWHERE which kept Lauren very entertained.  I would like to make special note that both Lauren and the chicken have both feet off the ground in this picture!  :oD

 
Paige's turn to chase the birds.  This was the day of her first skinned knee as well - but she was a good little trooper about it!

 
My happy girl!

 
This peacock allowed her to get SO close!  He was displaying to a nearby female and really wasn't concerned with Lauren inching closer and closer to him.

 
Petting a baby wallaby.  How cool is that?!?

 
Such a big girl!  Check out all that drool.  We go through shirts like crazy - but the girl won't leave a bib on!

 
Looking at the parrot exhibit with Great-Grandma Joan (our GG).

 
At the exit to the zoo there is a neat petting zoo with about a dozen goats, and a bridge and huge rocks for the kids to play on.  This is their "Kid Cage" - and the goat seemed to know just how to pose!

 
Lauren getting some snuggles from Grandma Linda!
A fun, beautiful day all around!

I just read a tip in Parenting magazine from a parent whose boys wouldn't keep a bib on. She had them wear bandanas around their neck and they couldn't wait to come to the table as cowboys! I realize your girls might not be as excited to be cowgirls...but it's still a good tip to pass on to your friend's of little boys! :) Great photos! Lots of fun! Zoos are the best.
