ABQ Zoo

Once we finally got settled we decide to go out and explore a little bit before Jeff went back to work. We spent one morning at the zoo which the kids loved. Here the boys are checking out the giraffes. The one right behind them was an 8 day old newborn!
Jeff and Trey got to go into the bird cage and feed the birds. They give them little cups and the birds must be very trained cause they fly right to you once they see that you have food. Trey was not so excited about birds being on him so he took the pictures of Jeff.

So I guess here you can also adopt a wild child but we figure since we already have two that is enough for us!

Trey loved the elephants until one had to use the bathroom right in front of us, he didn't like that so much!
Mr. Cheesy face is still adjusting to this dry dessert heat.
And last but not least what zoo would be complete without a train! Jeff has been back to work for a few weeks now at the VA hospital and seems to be learning a lot and keeping very busy. I think he has developed a deep appreciation for war veterans as he helps them and hears their stories. The boys and I continue explore and are having lots of fun!

I loved the zoo when we went to ABQ!!! The gorilla's were especially funny, can't wait to see what else you find exploring, so we will have something to do next time we come!!
