Pittsburgh Zoo

This weekend we ventured into Pittsburgh for a graduation party for two cousins and a family reunion.  We had some free time on Saturday morning so we decided to take them to the Pittsburgh zoo.  Giraffees are Ava's favorite animals, and our little zoo does not have any.
 
 
Ava cuddled with her Daddy.

 
We were able to take a picture with an elephant.  Look at the elephant's trunk!  It's tickling Ava's belly!  She was not very happy with this, and moved for the next picture. 

 
 
The elephant was so sweet and let us touch it's legs.  His trainer kept throwing treats into the hay, so he was mainly focused on finding treats.  Apparently Ava must have smelled like a treat!

 
Our Safari stroller.  It's funny how Carter and Ava's legs immediately became too tired to walk.

 
Mike was super happy with his GINORMOUS burger.

 
Although they liked the other animals, the biggest hit was aquarium.  They loved the jellyfish, shark and groupers.  Carter also loved the blue lobster.

 
Pittsburgh Penguins!
 

 
The boys climbed right into the polar bear trap.  Ava was a little more hesitant.
 
We had a fun morning, and then onto more fun with family at a graduation party in the evening.
