It's a zoo out there!

In honour of the fact that I haven't posted FOREVER, here is a rediculously photo-laden post! Alan was on vacation this week, so we decided to take a few little trips. First was the Toronto Zoo, and let me tell you it was great! The drive was a little longer than we planned, especially considering we hit rush hour both ways and had to stop about half way there at a truck inspection station after Eleda got car sick (after eating a chocolate timbit, yummmmmm) but it was totally worth it. I will post the regular zoo pics today, and will leave the whole Sharks at Stingray Bay for another post.
The rainforest: Eleda and a reeeeally big fish.

Tiger resting...

What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze?

I love love love gorillas. I think it was in grade 6 that I did a school project on Diane Fossey and have been a little obsessed with them ever since. I remember watching an episode of Zoo Diaries not too long ago about this habitat and it was very interesting to see it in person.

Eleda showing how it's done in a carved canoe.

Eleda loved this.

The deep level of concentration is becaused I encouraged her to count all the fishies... I know, bad mom, I know...

My boys :)

The turtle was watching us...

Jaguar

A single Canada Goose among the flamingoes.

Eleda is still talking about this polar bear and how he was doing the backstroke.

Eleda comandeered the stroller (Ashton reeeeeeeally hated it anyways) and enjoyed a juice box.

These are different tigers than the first ones.

Here's Eleda on some sort of Australian reptile. You'd think I would have paid more attention to the names of things...

It's Dorie!

This camel was giving a ride, but Alan snagged a photo of his head since Eleda really wanted to see a camel lol.
