Hot Day at the Zoo

We're always looking for ways to stay cool in the summer. Today we went to the zoo. It's not the most obvious choice when the temps are in the triple digits, but we made it work and ended up spending over three hours there! We met up with friends from Temple and had a great time.

Zoe found a shady spot to rest and drink some water

We spent quite awhile in the indoor (air conditioned) education room, where the girls got to pet a snake, an armadillo and a chicken!

Here's Chloe feeding the giraffes for the first time - she had no fear and immediately asked to do it again after feeding Denver the giraffe two carrots

Here's the best reason to go to the zoo in the summer: the splash park! In the middle of the zoo is this great little splash pad with all kinds of fun ways to stay cool.

After cooling off in the water, we walked some more of the zoo while the girls' suits dried. It turned out to be a really fun day!
