While house hunting in Jacksonville we took the time out to visit the zoo.  It is a great zoo so many different reasons.  They have a new penguin exhibit, giraffes to feed, Stingray Bay where you can pet stingrays.  Part of zoo we enjoyed so much was seeing the birds you don’t see in the SC climate.  If you make it all the way back to the end of the zoo there is a water park too.  It’s a small one but a nice place to get wet after making to the back of the zoo.  There are picnic tables and shady spots to rest.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.

He was cool but his food smelled ‘yucky’!!

He’s a beautiful little guy, huh?

What’s all that green?

Duckweed.

Inside the reptile building where there was AIR

CONDITIONING!!!!!

Scary! but cool

One of these big gray beasts escaped from his enclosure the day AFTER we were at the zoo.

HUH?

This guy was amazingly beautiful.

This one scary, especially to think I’m going to live here.

Hi Mom.

Mr. Elephant….

My favorite part of the zoo.

Their tongues are 17-22 inches long.

The baby was so sweet.

Once we made it to the back and I was pooped the kids played on the playground but we didn’t bring bathing suits for getting wet.

Thanks for stopping by!

IN HIM,

Julie
