Tautphaus Park Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo in Idaho Falls. We have been here for 3x now but this has been the best time so far, and the best time at any zoo! Its the beginning of the season, and it wasn't hot, which contributed to the animals being out and showing off for us!


Ana and I on the chickenI don't think we had ever seen these lions before









This monkey was showing off like crazy! He was swinging up and around, up in the sunlight on the ceiling, and then, as I was up face to face with the the other monkey in the cage, he came swinging down and slammed right into the glass! Talk about getting my heart racing! It freaked me out!





This is a fun park to play at. About a year or two ago, they made this playground with specials needs kids in mind. The whole thing had ramps to get up to it for wheel chair access. They also have swings with high back that even Damon could swing by himself!





Keenan has conquered his fear of going down the slide by himself. He used to like us to hold his hands, but one day I just pushed him down by himself a couple of times and now he will go back and forth, up and down. He even says WEEE!!!





This is a crazy feeling toy! It spins ya and it feels like your gonna fall off







SO CUTE!








Damon loved the water! After we saw the penguins, he was crying for a while because he wanted to go swimming! Poor little guy!




Jose, Ana, Jordan and Natalie


Looking at the penguins



Aren't they so cute! Jordan and Natalie on Easter!

The other day, the guys went shooting, so Ana and I took the kids for a walk and a ride on the bike, and took back a redbox movie, got Jamba juice, and went to Porter Park!

Sounds (and looks) like fun! Zoo's are so much better when it's pleasant outside. It seems like most of the time I end up at a zoo in the middle of the summer when it's hot and miserable!

It looks like you are having a ball. That is so fun to have family in town. I want to go to the zoo this weekend-we'll see. I loved the boys all dressed up for church. So cute!
