Wildlife World Zoo~ Auqarium

On Tuesday afternoon, my Mom and Dad took Kernan and I to see the "SHISH"!  Kernan was so excited to go!  But first we had to stop at Fry's so my Dad could get Al McCoy's new book and have him sign it!  I was excited once we got there because the Gorilla was there too!!  That's the closest I've ever been to the Phoenix Suns Gorilla!  I wanted a picture of Kernan and I with the Gorilla, but as you can see, that wasn't gonna happen!

Here's Dad getting his book signed...

Of course if you listen to any of the suns games, you know that Al McCoy is known for saying "Shazzam!"  and he of course signed the book with that! Ü  Now, the big question that Mom and I had for Dad was... Are you going to read it?! Ü  Love you Dad!!!

This is who I was super excited to meet!  Ü

And this is what Kernan was doing while I was getting my picture with the Gorilla!  He wanted nothing to do with him!

So once we were done at Fry's we were headed to the Zoo!!  I absolutely love the Wildlife World Zoo!  It's the best zoo I think I've been too!  When we lived there we would take Maci to it each year on her birthday!  Since then they've added an entire aquarium section that we hadn't been to yet!  Kernan loves "shish" and was super excited to go!
He tried on a bunch of the hats in the gift shop..

This was my favorite!  He'd make such a cute zoo keeper!

ROAR!

He was totally hamming it up in this hat!  I know they're blurry, but they're priceless!!

Onto the "shish"... Or turtles!  I think I took more pictures of Turtles then fish!  We love turtles in our family!!  This guy was HUGE!!  This picture seriously doesn't do him justice!  We thought he was fake until he moved!

This crab swims upside down everywhere!!  The lady said he's the only one that does that!
Photobucket

He's supposed to look like these guys!

Another funky looking turtle!

We couldn't believe how long this guys neck was stretched out!

Kernan was SO excited to see the Alligator's!  I wish I could spell it like he says it, but I can't!  Bummer!  He wasn't sure about this tank at first!  I walked up to him, he was a good 2 ft away, and headed toward the glass.  He grabbed my hand and said, "Careful Mommy, you get owies from him!"  He didn't realize there was a glass up!  So once I touched the glass he went right up to it! haha!

I thought this guy was SO cool!  I don't remember what he is called...

When Kernan spotted this guy he said, "Mom, that's for pirates!"

These frogs were awesome!  Very colorful!!  But also very poisonous!

The shark tank...

Grandpa lifted him up to give him a better view...  This one swam right in front of them!!
Photobucket

Awesome puffer fish!  I wanted him to puff up though, I tried tapping on the glass, but it didn't work like it does in NEMO! Ü
Photobucket

And this polka dotted fish was super cool looking!  Seeing all the saltwater fish makes me want to go get ours from our house in AZ!!
Photobucket

So that was it!  Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us!  We LOVED it!!
When we go back to AZ I'd like to take Kernan to the entire Zoo! I think he'd LOVE the hole thing!!  Plus, I need a giraffe fix! hehe!

We need to take the time this summer to take the kids to Hogle Zoo up in Salt Lake, that is a way cool Zoo! Great pictures! How did we get by with just the four of us going again? Lol
