Tampa Zoo

On Tuesday we headed to the Tampa Zoo.  Since we are St. Louis Zoo Members we were able to get a discount on our admission...50% off, which made it only $35 compared to $70 for our admission....that was a nice perk!

Dane rode to the zoo with Tom and Deanna.  He was so excited!  The zoo had a lot of fountains to run through so the kids wore their swim trunks.

 Dane found a splash pad as soon as we walked in.

 We decided to head back to the Safari Expedition first.  We passed a couple of animals on the way.

 It was a 20 minute ride and we got to see so many neat animals.

Monkeys on top of the wall

 We were pretty close to most of the animals and Reese just kept pointing to the animals.

Giraffes in the back ground

 After the safari we passed some penguins, which Dane loved!

 The Tampa Zoo had several rides.  They are all included in the price of admission so it was fun for Dane to be able to go on whatever he wanted, as many times as he wanted.

Dave and Dane went on the little roller coaster.  They were in the back car.

 After a trip around Dane started lifting his arms up and the air and yelling, "Yahooooo!"  

 Another splash pad

 There was a little petting zoo, which Reese loved.

 The Flying Bananas

Bumper Boats

 Carousel Ride with Daddy

 The Tampa Zoo was really neat to visit because it was so different from the St. Louis Zoo.  The boys had a great time and were worn out.  They both fell asleep as soon as we pulled out of the parking lot.
