New Orleans Zoo

The weather was picture-perfect this past Saturday (sunny & low 70's), so we took advantage of it and headed over to the New Orleans Zoo for the first time. All three of us had a blast!

Petting a hedgehog

Lunchtime for the turtles :)

It looked like the tiger was posing for us :)

Naptime for the lion :)

Petting a snake

Petting a sheep

I know this isn't the best picture, but can you see that huge grin
on Shelby's face? She was loving the opportunity to pet so many animals!

Petting a goat

The zoo had lots of different & unique play structures for kids.
Shelby loved climbing on these logs!

Petting a baby alligator

Derek & I were both laughing at this gorilla. It looked like he was sitting off
by himself pouting. It's crazy how their mannerisms can be so similar to that of humans!

Shelby LOVES the big red balls outside of Target, and this giant rock
at the zoo reminded her of Target. :)

Riding the carrousel. And you can see Shelby's first bad habit...
picking at the skin on her lip! She does this all.the.time. It drives us crazy!
