Our 1st trip to the ABQ zoo

This is a long awaited trip. We prepared on Thursday by wearing our animal t-shirts: Leyla's has a tiger, Luke's has a rhino (and yes, it is Dr Lukey in the house), and Logan is sporting the elephant.



On Saturday, we were off on the 2 and 1/2 hour drive to ABQ. We were all so excited and when we got there saw that everyone else had the same idea about the zoo. It was a mob scene! We ended up parking along a curb...

It was a great zoo and I will start the picture parade off with my personal favorite



Leyla and I were waiting in line to ride the camel until the camel decided to make a noise. We'll try again another time

Yes, Logan was there too and here is proof

It was stinky by the flamingos



and finally some gratuitous animal shots ;)

Agitated polar bear...could it be the sweltering desert heat?



We finished up the trip with a quick Costco run, dinner, and the drive home. Amazing day!
