The Knoxville Zoo!

On Saturday we went to the Knoxville Zoo! The Gorilla's tried to keep Allan but the kids wouldn't let them! ha ha

On the way to the zoo. The girls were singing two songs over and over. One being Alvin and the Chipmunks "Christmas song". The other was "I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry.

This kid is obviously in love with any camera! lol

Allan, Allison and Mallorie in front of the waterfall at the front of the Zoo.

Mallorie watching the Elephant eating.

Family pic with Allan's long lost son in the backgrou.. oh wait that's a Zebra. Oops :D
Nice picture though :)

Miss Allison all smiles in the sun.

Mallorie taking a ride on the "Magical Lion" as she put it.

Michelle and her new best friend! This Chimp was so cute! Couldn't tell if he was happy, tired, cold or sad though.

Mallorie was the only one brave enough to sit next to him. Allison said it was too scary!

Another family pic.

They have a new part in the park called "Kid's Cove" that opened last year or maybe the year before that. It has a HUGE sandbox, huge kids club house with slides and stuff, petting zoo, Aviary, night pets exhibit, and a Merry-go-round called "Fuzzy-go-round".
The kids LOVED it! Well worth it. Doesn't cost anything extra except the Merry-go-round. And I think it was like $2 a ride.

Hard to take a good pic with the thing going round and round. Elliott wouldn't get on an animal and made Chelle sit with him in the Chariot lol

Random shot of my Mommy saying "What are you doing??" lol

Allison says the Giraffe's are her favorites! So, she made me take a bunch of pictures of them! But then they all ran to the other side of the pen. I guess it was feeding time.

On the way out we ran into this big beaver guy. Even with Allan and the beaver acting goofy the kids were still to scared to go near him. It was so funny! So, no picture with him and the kids, just him and the big kid. lol
We had a blast! The kids are already planning on what they want to see there again next time!
