baby Kylee and the baby zebra "Ziggy"
each of the kids take turns feeding Ziggy - Logan first.
Ethan's turn - He especially likes Ziggy because his stripes are still brown.

Jolee's next - feeding the baby animals is so much fun!

Kylee is curious what the wet long black thing is... she wants to grab it!

Kylee loved the giraffes

The kids love this little victorian house tucked away under the giant willow tree.
They would stay and play here all day if we let them.

Jolee would love a pink and purple house of her own.

When we get home she wants to know when Daddy has plans to build one.
