Wildlife World Zoo at Spring Break

While we were in AZ for Spring Break we went to the Wildlife World Zoo. It is a nice zoo, and they have added many new rides and exhibits since the last time we went, which was when the kids were about two. We rode the carousel and the train ride. Mallorie really wanted to ride on the log ride, but Kolby didn't (I think he's got a bit of his mother in him) and we were all too hungry by then so we decided to go eat instead. It looked like a really cool ride, though. It goes under the aquarium and then takes you up high before plunging down to the bottom at the end. We had dinner in the new restaurant, which has an aquarium with sharks swimming next to you while you eat. We got to touch sting rays and we also saw shark eggs. Did you know that some species of sharks lay eggs?! Me neither. It was fascinating. You could see the little developing sharks moving around inside the sack like eggs. My little sister, Kilee and her daughter, Storie - This was the first time Storie had ever rode on a carousel. She wasn't sure about it at first, but then loved it and wanted to go on it again. In fact we almost lost her there. We had all walked off, and then discovered that Storie wasn't with us. She had gone back to the carousel and was insisting that she ride it again on the doggie.

My nephew, Cole - I didn't get very many pictures of him or Kora.
