Zoo time!

We were able to take a quick trip to the Sioux Falls Zoo this past week.  Lydia loves almost any type of animal, and with how much she enjoyed the Omaha Zoo, we knew this would be a hit, also.

Excited for the zoo!  Sitting face-forward, too!


Of course, Lydia's favorites were all the different types of monkeys.  She enjoyed seeing everything else, too.  This zoo is just about the perfect size for Lydia right now.  Since school had already started it was not very busy.  Lydia sometimes rode in the stroller, but often was able to walk around.  We got through the whole place in about 1 1/2-2 hours.

Kangaroo!  "Hop, Hop!"
Apparently this is a guanaco...looks like a llama to me!
High five, Mr. Monkey!



These guys were VERY entertaining.  We stopped to see them three times!  This fellow was busy swinging, and then later, all three of the monkeys were talking very loudly!  Lydia was almost a little scared by all of their racket!
Emu

Lydia loved petting the goats, sheep, and cow in the petting zoo!





Tiger!
Flamingos!
Komodo dragon
Bald eagle

Lydia attempted to milk the cow at the petting zoo, but Mrs. Moo was pretty dried up! ;-)

Bear


We loved seeing the giraffes.   We were even able to get pretty close to them!


We will definitely have to stop here again next year!  After our time at the zoo, we stopped to eat our picnic lunch at the park near there.  A fun day, indeed!
