Naples Zoo

Is there anything better than a day at the zoo? I don't know, but I can tell you we had a blast. We saw everything from Lions, to zebras, to fosas to the coolest black bears. The neatest thing about the Naples zoo is you are so close to the animals. You actually feel like you are face to face with them. There is only a chain link fence between you and two gigantic lions! It is so cool! I couldn't wait for summer to enjoy these types of days with the boys! We had so much fun, from watching a snake show, riding in a boat and playing on the many play structures! Watching the boys enjoy these experiences is so much fun It makes me feel so lucky to have them and to be a part of their lives. I can't wait for many more days like this one to come! I hope summer never ends!

The best on I could get of the two of them!

Tyler and Bryce having so much fun on the play structures! Tyler is old enough and big enough to do them all by himself! It's a little frightening at times, but it is so much fun to just sit back and watch him explore. Bryce is just starting to explore, but following in his brother's footsteps. He climbs on everything and tries everything his brother does. He already idolizes his older brother.

Two video's of the boys playing and climbing!

Just a few more of them playing! They had so much fun!

This is at the snake show. Tyler really enjoyed all the snakes and wanted to take them home with him, it was easy to say NO WAY!! Bryce wasn't much in to the snakes, but he had fun playing on the bleachers and eating pretzels!

Here Tyler and Bryce are watching a leopard walk right past them. All the separates them is on sheet of glass. It is so cool!

Tyler and Bryce's first boat trip. We went on a boat to see all the monkeys. There are no fences in the monkey exhibit, just water surrounding the islands. It was fun and the breeze we got on the boat was just what we needed on this very hot day. Bryce and I were on one side of the boat and Ty and Nani were on the other.

Tyler and Nani on their side of the boat!

Some of the cool monkeys!

Are their uglier ducks in the world then Florida ducks? I don't know but the boys loved them!

A video of Tyler trying to get food for the ducks. I don't know who was more disappointed that we didn't have any quarters, the ducks or Tyler.

Tyler climbing a tree! He was inspired by the monkey's!

Tyler and his little girlfriend that we met at the zoo! They had so much fun together! He is so ready to be at school and to meet new people! They had so much fun running from exhibit to exhibit together!

This is Tyler watching the lions! They are so close, only that fence keeps them away from us! It's kinda scary really!

The bears were the best part of the day. The one I swear was putting on a show just for us! Bryce kept pointing at the bear and Tyler was having the time of his life!

A video of the bear and the boys watching the bear!
