Part 2: Zoo Miami

As promised, here is the second installment of our trip to Zoo Miami. 

I cannot say enough good things about this zoo. The animal enclosures are designed to give the viewing public fairly close access to the animals. This was definitely a unique expeirence. 

Buddy stumbled upon this croc just chillin'

Then he found a nest full of hatchlings.

It didn't take the kids long to figure out that these caves are excellent viewing spots - although also the most crowded.

Ride or die, Bud.

Beauty. She seemed to be enjoying the temperature dip.

Rea snapped this one. The anaconda was VERY interested in the kids. I'll have to share some of those pics sometime.

Our entire group was mesmerized by this guy.

Cuties. They were so tired. By this point, they really did not want to pose for pics.

I LOVE this. Although, maybe we should have tried to take it when we arrived in the am.

This final photo perfectly sums it all up:

Thank you so much to the friends who came with us. We appreciate your patience and sense of adventure! 

Thank you to all of the staff at the Zoo. We asked a lot of questions. We never crossed a grumpy soul's path (except our own spawn). You guys are doing excellent things! We will be back.
