Checking out the animals...
This lion camped out on this jeep all day.
Taking the tram ride through the back area...we ended up on the tram right at lunch time for all the animals!
Two of the world's oldest rhinos! Turned 46 this week (13 years longer than the average life expectancy)- both girls.

Time to feed our animals...
Ask any of the girls their favorite part of the day and they will say the bird show- it was really cool- had a lot of birds that flew right over the crowd including this owl that flew right over us!
Checking out the gorillas...
And then the elephants...
Lots of baby elephants!
I purposely didn't dress the girls the same (I usually try to on big outings like this so I can spot and count easily) but I must say it was like we were incognito! We had ONE person ask us if they were triplets and it was when we were taking these pictures (and the lady's brother has triplets- guess we can spot each other pretty easily!). It was really nice spending the day without being stopped every 5 minutes to answer triplet questions. I usually don't mind- but some days its nice to be left alone and just enjoy the time with the girls.
The girls were great- they listened, no real melt downs, and they all took turns (some more than others) walking- we had 2 strollers.
There were wild deer running through the elephant exhibits and the elephants were chasing them...
Grammy and the girls towards the end of the day...
Time to ride the merry-go-round! Emily had to have a zebra since that was the animal she decided to BE all day!
Ashley...
madeline and grammy... 
Hi Mom!
Blowing kisses!
It was a great day and the girls are still talking about it (and pretending to be various animals). We will go back again for sure!
