Jacksonville Zoo

Well, it was time for another trip to the Jacksonville Zoo!!!
I met my very good friend Vicki and her kids...Vicki is a photographer in Georgia and we always have a blast taking photos of the kids and animals as we go!

So, here is a zoo overload! Enjoy :-)

First, some birds from the aviary....






and a turtle too :-)


My friend and her neighbor's boy feeding the stingrays...look how it came out of the water!!


And a few wild birds too!!






Some animals from the Africa area of the zoo....
This Ostrich is always so cool!!


A hungry Rhino...and a good thing too..Look at those ribs!!




A cool guy from the reptile house


And an adorable little deer


The elephants were really active this day!! I could have stayed there for hours!!








Apparently, this elephant was hot...she kept putting her trunk in the water, then using the water to make mud in front of her....


Then sprayed the mud wherever she could reach!!




There's my silly guy!


And look! A monkey!!
No..no..that's Preston! :-)


Beautiful Lion




The giraffes are always so cool!!




I think this guy was getting onto the kids...snicker..






The scenery at the zoo is beautiful!




The kids watching fish




Sleeping Jaguar


An Anteater


A Tapir


Beautiful Green-Wing Macaw






I love this silly look that Preston gives!


The kids on a bridge...Preston wasn't feeling it. LOL


In my favorite aviary at the zoo...






When Alex finally settled down and watched the Otters for a moment...they decided to play with him!!




Pouty Christopher...I can't blame him, it was HOT.....I couldn't resist though, he's even too cute for words when he pouts!


Time for the monkeys!!!




Hello?!?! Is anyone home?? We're hot and hungry!!!
Hahaha!


Silverback Gorillas....one word....Wow!
Who's watching who?








Silly kids on the playground...THEY had energy left...Vicki and I were exhausted!!
