It's A Zoo Around Here!

Hi everyone. Well, the girls have been home all week for Spring Break. Since it was starting to feel like a zoo in the Wagoner household, Tory suggested we spend the day today at the actual zoo. So off we went this morning, hoping the rain would stay away. It was a great day to be at the zoo--not too hot, not too cold, cloudy but not raining. Keep in mind while viewing the zoo pictures--I'm definitely not a wildlife photographer so these are really just snapshots. I was really wishing I had a longer lens so I could zoom in even closer on some of the animals, but I made do with what I had! We all had a great time, so here are a few pics to encourage you to make a trip to the zoo if you haven't been lately:

Tory will kill me for posting him on the blog, but here he is with Stella:


The girls in a "polar bear den:"


The little ones in the stroller. Claire didn't want me to stop to take her picture hence the pouting, but I just had to capture how Stella was looking around her to see where we were going!:


Watching the otters(Claire's favorite because they would playfully chase you across the glass):


The only polar bear out today:


Birds(I found them easiest to photograph because I could get closer to them and they stood out against the green leaves):



There is a new exhibit that just opened today. It's a new home for the elephants, rhinos, etc.:



Grace loved the giraffes and zebras:




Okay, If you've made it through me boring all of you with zoo photos, I am going to announce the winner of the March contest. I asked you all to fill out a survey and send it back to be entered in a drawing to win three 5x7 prints from your next session. The winner of the three 5x7s is Denise Herrin! Congratulations Denise!! I can't wait to see your beautiful girls again soon.

Be on the lookout for a new contest for April and more photos from recent sessions coming soon!
