Tautphaus Zoo

The Pocatello Zoo is pretty lame, meaning that I can see cows, deer, and buffalo anytime and it doesn't even cost me any money. I guess they do have some bears, which Tautphaus Zoo in Idaho Falls doesn't have........anyways last weekend we decided to go to Idaho Fall and take Abby to the zoo up there. It is a great zoo and we had a such a good time! The only downer about it was when asking Abby what animals she wanted to see at the zoo she would say zebra, unfortunately the zebra exhibit was closed and being worked on that day, but it didn't really bother her to much. Below are a few pictures!

The pelican was the very first animal we saw, which was quite fitting for the Moore family because we have a great little rhyme about pelicans that Aaron brought back from the great people of Australia:

What a wonderful bird is a pelican.
Its beak can hold more than its belly can.
You open your eyes with great wonder and surprise
And wonder how the helican?
(all you slow ones out there, hell-it-can)
(that is not a swear word in Australia, and I hope no one is offended!!)


Abby is jumping up and down from all the excitement! Just to much for her to handle!


What cute girls!


She loved climbing the fence!


They have a children's zoo part...........way cute! Aaron said he has never seen anything SO cute hatch in all of his life! haha

I posted this picture because if I were an animal living at the zoo, I would want to be the black swan that just chills in the water! Just looks so relaxing and enjoyable.


Aaron really liked the Tautphaus Zoo because they had an Australian part.....here is the map and of course they are pointing at Melbourne. There were wallabies, emus, and a fake koala......good stuff!


Getting a drink from the lion!


Lovin' the tigers.....actually the real tigers were asleep. The lady was telling us that they sleep 20 hours a day! And eat 10 pounds a day, and I thought it was cool because the 2 tigers they had were brothers!


Checking out the camels!!

It was a great day! The earlier you get to the zoo the more active the animals are!!

Yes, the Pocatello zoo is lame I do have to agree with you there. We absolutely love the Idaho Falls zoo! It is worth the drive-I do wish it was bigger but we went earlier this summer. Tyson loved the tigers-he kept saying Roarrrrrrr. You guys are such good parents-and you make VERY cute kids also :)
