Class of 1999+ Kids: At the Zoo


After the traditional school tour, we headed to the Abilene Zoo to show off our little ones.
Alyiah, Kaden and Zach pose by the sign. It was difficult to get them all looking at the same time

A close up..... Kaden enjoys making this face for some reason??

Addison Kluza...she is not still an infant, though if you are only depending on Jennifer's facebook you might think this!

Checking out the alligator. We were taking bets as to whether it was real. It did yawn for us later so we were convinced.

The best part of the Abilene zoo, giraffe observation deck....

The bears were up on the fence eating oru crackers we threw. It was crazy to see them so close up!

This is for Daddy. Go JAGS!

Checking out the baby alligator. It was feeding day so there were some nice mice in all the cages.

They catch it, hold it up and say BLAST!

He had a great time!
He did try to hit and field his own ball but he got better at sharing as time went on. I guess he just wanted to make sure that everything was covered!
