Lowry Park Zoo

One of the last days we were in Florida we went to the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa Fl. It is actually one of the top 10 zoos in the U.S. (I saw an article in Parents Magazine... I didn't just make something like that up =) It's really nice because the habitats are really close up so you can really see the animals and they have lots of things to do for kids. We had a lot of fun despite the 100 degree weather.

Megan and Damian: Damian ended up not feling that well that day and we ended up leaving a little early because he was running a fever... poor little guy.

Reagan checking out the owl. This kind of creepy old Santa Clause type man was driving around on a Hover Round Scooter with this owl on his arm... a little weird but whatever I guess.

The bird feeding room.... this is one of the coolest parts of the whole zoo.... you buy these little cups of nector and you walk into the bird are and birds come and jump on you arms and head to drink the nector. It is really cool when you get lots of birds on you at once.

Reagan was the only child that wasnt sleeping when we got to the kids area. They had lots of rides for kids including a roller coaster that Reagan made me go on like 15 times. She also like the carousel with lots of animal choices.

Brody woke up in just enough time to take a ride on the horse.

Activities like this are always a little hectic and never go exactly how you planned them in your mind but at the end of the day when all is said and done it is so worth all the hassle that goes into all of it. We are creating memories with our children that will last forever... because God knows I take enough pictures =)
