Jacksonville/St. Augustine

June 7th, we took a trip to the Jacksonville Zoo. It is a lot like Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. We went through the African section first. We had so much fun feeding the giraffes!! The tallest one there is the mom. The dad came over for only a minute. He was 3-4 feet taller than the mom! He was huge!

Then we went the Stingray Bay! Cute name, huh?

Then we went to a kid playing area but Bay said it was just for "little kids" (she's growing up). Oh, and went to the South American section where we saw a Giant Otter swimming around. Bay loves otters now. I got a lot of pictures but I'm sure it would be too much to put in this blog. I'll download them to photobucket some time. We went in a "Lost City" building that had some really neat animals in it. We saw a Caiman Lizard. It is half lizard and half caiman. Here's a video we found on youtube that is really shows how cool they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8ymXLA8zQ
They have an Australian section but it didn't have very much.
Then we went to the Native Florida section. Of course they have alligators :)

Then we went to Jacksonville Beach. We LOVE the water!!
