Miller Park Zoo Fun with Grandma and Paw Paw

On Saturday Grandma and Paw Paw Jacob escorted us to the Miller Park Zoo. We had a great day of looking at the animals, playing at the park, having a picnic, experiencing the local culture at the Miller Park pond and by local culture, I mean, people and their dead fish staring at us out of buckets and my most favorite memory Reese picking up a cigarette butt and smooshing it all over mouth! ICK!!! I'm getting sick all over again just thinking about it!!

It really was a fun day though, and the girls did great! They even went stroller free!

Here they are with the Wallabies

Ava was anxious to see every exhibit!

Reese was mesmerised by the River Otters and probably could of stayed there all day!


What I thought was a cute picture of Ava and Paw Paw at the Sea Lion area actually turned out to be an X rated pic. I'll let you find that on your own!

Here we are checking out more of the Sea Lions. I could barely get Reese over the rail to see!

The fam in the rainforest exhibit

Reese and Grandma were checking out the bears, they must have been doing something very interesting based on their expressions!

These are my favorite pics. Reese and Ava were SO excited to go into the petting zoo and you can see it on there faces

Then....total disaster! A goat has approached them! Check out how Ava had retreated back into the gated area and was not letting go of that fence.

No worries though, they went over and grabbed some brushes and got right to work! Daddy took a little time out to pose!

Next up was the Carousel

And then the ride ended and someone was NOT happy!

We moved onto the park where Ava climbed these bars all by herself. She then wanted to come down...I panicked so Daddy had to step in and help.

And I had to panic again....this time you can see it on my face. How could I let my baby go down a big kid slide???? I did finally release her and she did fine. What can I say I have problems letting go and they are only 2 and 1!

Sorry no pics of the fish or the cigarette butt incident.

We all had a great time and appreciate Grandma and Paw Paw making the drive over!
