Wildlife World

watching the snake..can you see the side of the smile.  He thought this was so cool.
Lydia reached up for Aaron's hand and they walked up the ramp together
In front of the kangaroos who were eating lunch.  He loved finally getting to see a kangaroo.
The wood rail in the bottom right corner is the rail Aaron was leaning next too in the previous picture
A sleeping kangaroo, it was pretty funny
They had a simulation of crocodiles hatching...it was honestly a little freaky, But I did think it was real at first
Wallaby
Today the kids and I ventured out after 2 days inside due to rain and Lydia being sick.  When we went to the Aquarium the other week we decided to get a pass that lets us into 4 attractions as much as we want while we are here.  It seemed like the best value.  One of the other attractions is Wildlife World, which is right beside the Aquarium.  We were really impressed by the aquarium but I was not expecting much from Wildlife World.  I guess its because I haven't heard much about it but I have heard a lot about other zoos around.  With that said, I was actually really impressed.  The kids had a great time walking looking at all the animals, snakes, and bugs.  I put on my cool mom pants and acted really excited about all the gross bugs and snakes for Aaron.  Inside I was flipping out at a couple points.  There was one point when a snake reared up right at the glass where the kids were.  It was too close for me, even though there was a huge glass wall between us.  I think another big plus was it was not very crowded, so the kids could walk around without me stressing out.
