Peoria Zoo

Jason had a four-day weekend over Memorial Day and we didn't do much Fri-Sun. By Monday, I had serious cabin fever, so we ventured in to Peoria and spent an afternoon at the Peoria Zoo. It's not the greatest, most unbelievable zoo in the world, but it's a nice, small, community zoo. And it is the perfect amount of entertainment on a day with nothing to do. Besides, I'm kind of glad it's not a huge zoo, those zoos take all day to walk through. It's nice to go up there for just a few hours.

Meerkat! Dakota was laughing so hard at these little guys running around.





Jax climbed the rock wall (with a little assistance).



Jason and I watched the giraffes for quite awhile. They are just an amazing animal to observe. Seeing them spread their legs to bend down to reach the ground was so interesting.



Cheetos!!

What fun. I agree sometimes those small zoo are just what you need.

That picture of the giraffe was great! I'm glad you were able to get out of the house, I know the feeling :)
