Elephants
Originally uploaded by curlyakb We went to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans the other day. The little boy, B, loves animals like a whole lot so we thought it would be fun. He'd only been the the little zoo by our house which is nothing compared to the New Orleans Zoo. So the Monday after Easter, we drove over there. I hadn't been to the Audubon Zoo in a very long time and it is so nice. It is a very pretty zoo with lots of room for the animals. B's favorite animal are elephants. He carries a stuffed elephant around with him that is his lovely and can say elephant pretty well for a 2 year old.
Here's some pics from our trip:
This was early in the morning so everyone was just waking up and the tiger was laying around.
The Gorilla had just eaten was moving over to finish off his last sweet potato.
The little giraffe is only 3 and kept hitting the bigger one in the side until the big one got tired and whacked him back.
Big ol' alligators!
Relaxin Orangutan
Leopard
White alligator. They have two, but this was the bigger one.
We even got to ride the Carousel, although we skipped the train. B got to ride a zebra.
This is just some of the highlights. We had a lot of fun and it was a very nice day most of the day. Next time is the Aquarium of the Americas!
I went to the zoo for the first time in years when I was in Omaha this fall. I forgot how much fun it could be. Granted, that might have had something to do with spending time w/ 3 college friends and skipping thru the zoo singing. :)
