Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...Oh My!

My college roommate Jamie, who also happens to be a distant cousin, called one day and invited Kent and I down to Hogle Zoo with her and her son Cohen. Cohen is about 4 months older than Kent. We had a blast! Not only was it good to be out of the house for the day, it was good to catch up with Jamie and meet her handsome little guy.

I thought I would throw an old picture of Jamie in here for fun. She is the one on the right. This picture was taken in London while we were visiting our other roommate Nicole over Spring Break. Nicole was doing an internship there for the semester.

Here is Kent and Cohen playing some African instruments. Actually I am not sure if the tambourine Kent is playing can be classified as African but it was in the basket with the others.

These two were the stars of the zoo. This is a mama elephant and her almost one year old baby named Zuri. The mama did all sorts of cool tricks, the baby just wanted to eat the whole time.

Cruising in the stroller. Right before this picture was taken they were holding hands, however as most moms know those perfect picture opportunities don't always last long.

Up close and personal with the giraffe.

The playground was a hit for the boys.

Riding a wild alligator

Kent looks a little frustrated with this caterpillar.

Happy to be in an egg.

Feeding the ducks. Both Cohen and Kent wanted to eat the duck food at first. Not many things gross me out, but that did.

Ten points to anyone who can tell me where else this slide resides besides Hogle Zoo.
