Zoo under the stars

The Watson's invited us to Zoo Under the Stars the other night.  It was member preview night, so we could all get in for free.  It was a great excuse to get out of the house for the night and to keep the kids up late :)  It's been so hot here, that we really can't go to the zoo during the days, so this was perfect.  The weather was great and at dusk all the animals that don't usually move were walking around.  It was really great to see the lions and tigers.  My favorite part was getting to fee the giraffes.  They let you walk up, get eye level to them, and feed them their nightly snack.  I've always thought giraffes were pretty, but up close they are even prettier!  Their eyes are unbelievable.  The zoo also set up jump houses and water slides.  We let the girls go into the jump house, but skipped out on getting wet.  I didn't have my camera (long story!), but Jenna gave me this pic of Tyler and Mckaley looking at the lions.  Thanks Jenna!
