This was the last weekend they had the Dinosaur exhibits up for display around the park. They were moving Dinosaurs and some of them sprayed water for effect. They were great and the kids loved them : o )


Camden jumped up on the fence and scared the Long Horned Sheep. He had a cute little white butt as he ran away from us : o )


The Giraffe had the sickest tongue I have ever seen. It is so long and the end of it is a dark blue color. I think they are really weird animals.
