Waco Zoo

During our recent trip to Waco for the barrel race, Dad managed a few extra hours to go with us to the Waco Zoo.  It was a smaller zoo but was wonderful for us.  It had all the large animals we wanted to see and even had a great new expansion with neat exhibits.  We love the zoo and try to go to one everywhere we go.

We walked up just in time to see the elephant giving himself a bath to cool off.  It was fun to watch.  Karson really enjoyed it since it the elephant is his favorite animal.

Family poses for pic with the elephant.
Learning about rattlesnakes 
Break for a snack 

Karson loved the alligator.  They had a little cave to crawl in and look through the window at the alligator.  He was sitting right beside the window and even got up to turn around so we could see him better.  It was neat to see especially his long white toenails.  Don't want to meet him in the swamps!!
Otters!!  The otters were swimming everywhere even over the slide.  The zoo had a see through tunnel slide that went through the otters tank.  The boys slid down it and the otter went over them.  NEAT!!

Slide time.  Hang on Korbin!
Don't let the snake bit you!
