Bakersfield Zoo

This is a huge turtle that roams around our neighbor's yard. Holdyn has to go by it everytime we leave the house. It is pretty fun.
Since Holdyn loves it so much, we made a turtle and some of her other favorite animals out of her play-dough. (Turtle, Elephant, alligator) Don't you love that she is eating gold fish and drinking diet-coke....that's my daughter for sure.
Here is Kimber, she seems to think that it is easier to eat while standing in the high-chair.... we even have a leather belt in there to keep her sitting, she is usually up in a matter of seconds.

Anyway, our friend Kim, and her son Aiden, went to the Zoo with us to see all of the animals.

It was fun! It is a small, clean zoo not far from our house. There were not many people there so we got to see lots of action. They fed the snakes mice while we were in the reptile room.
Kimber and Aiden had a ball in the strollers.
They had a kids section of zoo where the kids can feed/pet the animals.

There was a worker there who picked up a big bunny for Holdyn to hold/play with.
This guy has an owl on his hand. It was fun to see up close.
The bears were the best part. They were awake (unlike most trips to the zoo) and they were playing. Standing up on 2 legs and wrestling with each other. Since the zoo was very slow we got a front row seat for the action. It was fun to watch and see how big they are.
