Click on any image to enlarge!

After a rainout, we finally made it to the Mesker's Zoo on Thursday, April 28th!  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us on our little safari!
Beginning our journey!

Fallon, Maggie, Madison, Lainey, and Corryn posing in the new Amazonian!

THe LOUD Howling monkies!  We decided we definitely would not like these to be our morning alarm!

Cole's mom was able to join us!

Brandon and Alex 

Lainey's sisters Anna and Maggie made the journey with us!....a little camera shy!

Maggie...not so sure about the spiders!




Very neat and unusual animals!  We don't see these running around in Indiana! 

Laurel and Maggie...so silly!

Look at this sweetness!  Ellie and Sadie

WOW!  This thing is very cool!

The sun was so bright but the weather was perfect! Brandon and Cole trying to see! :-)

Mrs. Schmitt LOVES the zebras!



There were peacocks EVERYWHERE!

SO cute!

We were trying to pet them...but I think we ended up scaring them.  All these kids (and Mrs. Schmitt) trying to pet them!


Quick pose!

Right before they tried to pet her....and she jumped!
