Fresno Chaffee Zoo

Last Saturday we headed with my parents the the Fresno zoo. We had never been there before so we were excited to check it out. We all ended up be impressed with the place and really enjoyed the exhibits.
                                     The boys really thought it was cool to feed the giraffes.





  Here the giraffe's long tongue got Brady's arm as he was holding the lettuce out, what an experience.
 Brady was just mesmerized by all the animals and would want to stay and stare into each exhibit.
 There was a sting ray exhibit that you could try and pet or feed the rays. Nathan was super cautious and didn't want to stick his arm in the water but Brady really wanted to touch them. Unfortunately the pool was too deep for his little arms.
                                               Holding the fish for the stingrays to eat.






                                                             Taking a snack break.

Brady had to touch every single animal in the petting zoo and then once he got a brush he had to go back to each one to make sure they got brushed, silly boy.





                                                     Digging for dinosaur bones.



One of our last activities for the day was watching the bird show. After the show  they brought out a few of the birds for close ups. This owl was amazing.

Also as part of their conservation fundraising  you can hand money to a Raven who collects it and places it in a box.

 We had a great day and the boys are excited to go again when the African exhibit is open next fall.
