I can't believe my sister got a motion blur shot like this - she had never used my camera before!

Carousel Sisters
All smiles waiting for the Carousel ride to start

Carousel Sisters 2
Adorable!

Checking out the map
Cathy has the zoo map memorized, but the kids like to stop and look anyway.

Colorful bird
I don't remember what type of bird this was, but I really like the shot!

Baby Monkey below the Ladder
Got this from our second trip on the Boat Ride. We didn't even see the baby the first time around; he's tiny!

Kangaroo sleeping
I hear they sleep a lot...

Kangaroo on his back
...but not usually on their backs!

Driving Jeeps - Kate having a great time
Kate loved driving the Jeeps! At least when she was actually holding the steering wheel.

Driving Jeeps - Lily driving hard
Lily was all business behind the wheel.

Driving Jeeps - Lily posing at the wheel
She posed for this, but was still trying to watch the road!

Both kids enjoyed driving the Jeeps

Macaw ride - Lily and Uncle Alan ready to go
We had a lot of fun, but Lily had a hard time steering with my long legs in the way.

Macaw ride - Almost done
Lily was very happy when she found out she was tall enough to have her own Macaw! Cathy is in the Macaw behind her.

Macaw ride - Lily followed by Cathy
One happy little girl!

Stingray

Bird on the shoulder
Shouldn't this be worth something?

Me feeding the birds
The lorikeets we were feeding must have been really hungry - as soon as the food was gone so were they.

Petting Zoo

Pink Flamingos

Baby Flamingo
Pink Flamingos get their color by eating brine shrimp; babies get pinker and pinker with age as they eat more.

Resting on a bench
The kids were about to fall asleep... until they got 5 minutes rest and something to drink.

Train Ride
Lily wanted to sit in the very last row of the train, which faces backward. The kids all thought the dark covered bridge was scary.

Carousel 2
Kate and Lily. I'm back behind there somewhere, too.

Carousel 3
Lily and her toothy smile.

Carousel 4
Beginning of carousel ride 2; my horse was all the way down, while the girls' were up tall.
