New Orleans Zoo

We decided to make a day of it down in New Orleans.
After the race, we ate a DELICIOUS breakfast at a cute little restaurant Downtown, then headed for the Zoo! We have season passes so we try and use them as much as possible. The Zoo is gorgeous and there is always tons to do : )

Emmers and Daddy touching an Elephant

They feel exactly how you would imagine. But hairy.
So cool!

White Bengal Tiger
Gorgeous!

Papa taking a turn with Char

She looks like a baby doll : )


This guy was my favorite! He was enormous and really seemed like he dug the crowd that he drew in. The baby in the barrel started to mess around with Dad and pulled his hair while hanging on his back. It was cute how they played, very human like.

Handsome feller

It seemed like all the Monkeys were "posing" for pictures that day..

Emme watching the Orangutang family

They also had a new Dinosaur exhibit that had mechanical Dinosaurs in their own enclosure. I was more excited than Emme to check it out because growing up, I got to see "real" Dinosaurs at the Zoo I went to. It brought back some good memories. And of course, Emmers LOVED it. She was timid at first, but she is very intrigued with Dinosaurs so it didn't take long to warm up to them. Very cool exhibit : )

We had a very fun FULL day in Nawlins'
It is such a joy to live so close to such a beautiful piece of America.
We love it here!
