These guys were the best! Earlier in the day, Ryan & the interns got to feed the giraffes and get right up close to them. I just love their expressions. They look like they're staring right at you.
Almost there Linds. :)
Now this little guy was to die for!! He may look a little psycho in the eyes in this pic but this baby elephant was so cute. He ran all over the place playing with anything he could get his trunk on.
Here's a clip of him playing with a metal drum.
Elephants are so fun to watch when they're active. This one cracked me up.
I can't go to the zoo without visiting the monkeys. They had all kinds to look at.
We had a great time but I would recommend going when it's not a 100 degrees out!
I had no idea how influential my sister-in-law, Emily, was! Check out this LINK to see why.
She was asked to paint a mural for Kansas Senator Jim Barnett for his campaign race for Congress. I would say that's a resume builder if I ever saw one! That takes ridiculous talent to paint such a large mural and it turned out so amazing. You have to check out the video of her being interviewed by the local news station in the link posted above and see it for yourself how talented this girl is.
I'm so proud of you sister!! LOVE YOU!
Ryan pretending to stick his finger in the piranha tank, of course.
I love the water tunnels with all the fish and sting ray you can walk under. This little turtle was so cute!
Brittney was excited about the tank too.
The set up was so cool. It really felt like we were in a rain forest inside!
You can even see my hair was starting to curl. :) Mark and his beautiful fiance, Brittney.
The penguins were so cute. I think they were my favorite.
Love this guy. :)
Sea horses are so fascinating to me.
They even had a spot to pet the sting rays.
We also watched an imax movie about the wet lands and the hurricanes. It was so interesting. I really want to ride around in the wet lands now in one of those fly boats!
That night we got the chance to eat at the famous chief, Emerald's (You know... BAM!!), restaurant NOLA. Oh my gosh, the food was to die for!!
The restaurant itself was amazing, it has three floors and we took an elevator to get to our floor. Our waiter was the best too!! Good ol' Thadius. He was hilarious and even gave us some free ice cream along with our desserts. I could completely recommend this place.
We has so much fun, New Orleans was definitely a neat experience. I would totally go again.
