Zoo animals

On Friday Feb 13th, Wes took a vacation day so we could all spend time together as a family. We went to the zoo to try to show Armour the elephants as they are his favorite animals and he has never actually seen one in person. Sadly, the elephants were off display because it was too cold. We did not let that deter us! We saw a lot of fun animals, and this is a blog to show some of those to you. I will do another post with pics of the Johnsons at the zoo. Check out these animals:

There are alligators in this dark area that scared the oldest 2 Johnson kids poopless...

Love this statue and this is a great pic of it!

These little orangutans were looking at and interacting with the kids through the glass.

Here they are...(the kids, not the monkeys)
