The Oakland Zoo

The weather in the Bay has been pretty damp and freezing the last few days! With a change of weather, on this particularly gorgeous day, we decided to head to The Oakland Zoo! Oma, Jessa-Dan, Renee, me, and all the babies went! Chantilly really really wanted to see the "emelents" (elephants)!
Fun Fact: Did you know that humans and chimpanzees have more similar DNA than Asian elephants have to African elephants? It is true!

Maddox could not stop pointed and yelling to the gondola ride above our heads! He loved it! He was such a good sport all day, only having a 10 minute nap before we left for the zoo!

These 2 friends loved every minute together!
We rode the train to the Outback to look at the kangaroos and emus! From the train, we had an amazing view of the bay from the zoo!
Chantilly was too short to ride every ride but one! She looked on with Oma as Max got to ride on the cars!
Lucky for me, I got to take her on the carousel! She had to ride on the "zeba!" After she was done riding it with Oma for her second time, she game him (the zebra) a kiss goodbye!
We had a blast at the zoo! Beautiful day! Awesome family! Fabulous time!
On the way home, we grabbed some delicious Fenton's ice cream! Of course I got my Black and Tan! Delish!
