Travel & Vacation: Lions, Tigers, Seals, Reptiles, Bears, and more at the Atlanta Zoo (Atlanta, GA)

 Lioness pacing on her rock

We had a blast seeing all the animals on our recent trip to the Atlanta Zoo.  We arrived just as the Zoo opened in the morning and stayed until closing.  The kids loved seeing all the animals, the activities, and special events.  It was a busy, packed, and fun day together.  We walked all over the area of the zoo several times over.  The morning was a little cooler, but it was very comfortable by mid-morning (not too cold or hot).  You can read more about our adventure on my Travel & Vacation: Visiting the Atlanta Zoo (Atlanta, GA) blog post.  

 The two lionesses were playing and pouncing on each other while we were there.  They were so fast we weren’t able to get a non-blurry picture of both of them together.  It was neat to watch them playing around instead of just sleeping on their rock.

 Better watch out….

 The seal was catching the fish they were throwing at them.  You can see the fish right in front of him.

 Me and my girls!  They are growing up so fast.  Thankful for these little adventures together as a family!

Brina was always good a spotting the animals really quickly, not sure how she does it so fast!

 Jake and his girls at the Atlanta Zoo

 Jake is always so good about explaining and showing the girls different pieces of information about the animals.  The snake is acting like it might try to strike Jake’s hand through the glass in this picture, but it never did.

 The bear brought this branch with leaves on top of the platform so he could eat it by himself without the other one bothering him.

Fun times!

They loved learning about all the different wildlife.

Love my family!  Grateful for the opportunity to hang out at the Atlanta Zoo for the day!

Such a rough life…. They look so cute and cuddly.

This is a “Tanuki” it is very timid and doesn’t come out very often per one of the zoo workers that we asked.  We walked by its cage multiple times and never saw it out until almost the end of the day.  It gets spooked easy so it is not visible very often.

How does your Mom carry you!?  Silly girls – Brina and Karlie

Karlie loves brushing the farm animals. She is currently on her way to brush another one.

Brina talking with the zoo worker about goats and asking questions.  He was really nice and pointed out several different types of goats and characteristics of the ones near her.

Brina and Karlie brushing one goat.  Lots of TLC for this Mamma goat.  They always love the interactive animal adventures.
