Lions and Tigers and Bears.....

Gracie and Bailey's First Trip to the Zoo
One of our favorite things to do at the beach is to visit the zoo. Gulf Shores has a great little zoo that seems like not a whole lot of people know about. Preston and I discovered it a few years back on a cloudy day when looking for something to do and we have gone back each year when we are at the beach. The zoo is right off the main highway and you would never guess that they have lions, tigers, bears, crocodiles, giraffes and just about anything you can imagine. This zoo is fun because it is usually not crowded and you can get pretty close to the animals. Part of the zoo is reserved for animals that you can pet and feed. We were so excited to take Gracie and Bailey to the zoo for the first time. We started with them in their jogging stroller but by the time we got to the first animal we already had them out so we could hold them up to see the animals and tell them all about the animals. We would make the noises that the animals make and they would just giggle and giggle. Some of the animals would make their own noises which really made them laugh. It is such a fun day and a great family memory.

Pay attention Mommy so the Donkey doesn't eat Gracie!
