milwaukee zoo

our last day in madison was going to be spent at the local zoo. however, since we were in wisconsin, we decided we'd try to meet up with nick's brother and nephew. so we decided to head to milwaukee to meet them at the milwaukee zoo! what a great time!! tj and tre go there quite frequently, so they know their way around and all the best things to see! it was our first time at this zoo so we just took it all in!

checking out the pink flamingoes!

 

uncle nick showing tre something very cool!

oh, ya know....just taking a ride on the dinosaur!!

the dinosaurs were definitely one of my favorite exhibits! and i think everyone else probably agrees! they were very detailed and even moved around! very very cool!!

the girls by a baby dino!

charlie didn't wanna stick around by the t-rex too long! lol!

tj and tre by the 'nest' of baby t-rexes and big bro/sis t-rex!

the 'nest'

i'm certain the girls enjoyed this part of the exhibit the most....possibly even their favorite part of the whole zoo! lol! this dino 'spit' at the people walking by! it was hysterical!

the girls even got to ride a camel for the first time! i thought it was pretty darn cool! if i wasn't prego, there's a pretty good chance i would have gone for a spin too! haha! what a site that would have been! the girls said it was really neat and the camel was really soft!!

tre's favorite part is feeding the animals! the animals just wander around a little area and kids can feed them! tre gets the biggest kick out of it! he even chases them around! altho he only feeds the ones he wants to feed! haha!

 

and of course we had to take a train ride! it was pretty neat! we were going to fill up two cars, but tj insisted we could all fit in one! it was a bit tight, but hey, families stick (close) together, right?! lol!

close up!

and the final zoo fun for the day.....the carousel of course!

look at that adorable smile!!

i just love my girls!
