Palm Beach Zoo

On Saturday, the day before Father's Day, we planned an afternoon at the zoo in Palm Beach. Lucky for us, Poppy was in town after being in the Keys for a week and could go with us. We started our morning at Cracker Barrel for a yummy breakfast!!!

Brooke being her silly self with the straw in her mouth. This is her frequent trick at most restaurants.

Now she's using the straw as a concentration tool while she plays the peg game.

She's a genius...she left one! lol

Our "silly monkey" ready to head to the zoo in the new outfit from her Nina.

Somehow, my big, pregnant behind managed to get in a picture. Thanks Nina!!

Brooke, Nina and Poppy checking out the ducks and the swans. I snuck over and fed the ducks some cheerios (which they liked!)

Poppy and Brooke with a huge bird in the background (can't remember what it was!)

The beautiful swan hanging out in the dirty water.

Brooke really liked the "big kitty cat".

The huge turtles.

The monkeys just hanging around.

Some strange bird that flew over to visit Poppy. He was doing some strange dance and was sticking his head out of the fence. He really liked Poppy!!

Brooke really liked the fake turtles.

Poppy looked equally as excited to see the fake turtles.

We took a break from the heat and got a drink. Brooke got to enjoy her first push-up.

She was a mess...but she loved it!!!

The gorgeous Jaguar.

The mother monkey walking the rope with her baby hanging on.

I love this picture!! We find this huge fan in the front of the gift store and Poppy and Brooke took a quick break in front of it.

The lazy bear that wouldn't do his tricks for treats.

Brooke is close to 2.5 feet tall give or take a pony tail.

The funny looking Flamingos.

Here was Brooke's favorite part of the zoo! The interactive fountain. I read up on the zoo before we went and saw that they had a fountain for the kids. We changed Brooke into her bathing suit and walked out in the center of the fountain. I managed to get soaked too which is not good wearing white pants, but luckily my backside stayed dry!

Brooke checking out the fountain and trying to figure out how it worked.

She was in heaven!

She figured out where the water was coming from and kept sticking her finger in the spout.

She would kick her legs and just laugh and giggle out loud.

She did NOT want to leave the fountain.

Waving to Poppy!

Riding the carousel.

Driving Poppy!

One of the turtles decided to move a few feet and that's when Brooke noticed it.

Brooke in the water fountain. Turn the volume up...you can hear her laughing in one of the clips.
