florida vacation - day 3...

we decided wednesday would be the perfect day for a morning trip to the zoo before grampa mark arrived to join us for a few days.

max got himself ready...notice the socks and sandals! adorable!

not sure why i'm getting a salute here?

max wanted a picture by this tree because it looked like a pineapple.

we got to feed some animals...

various birds and ducks

and giraffes too!

it was awesome!

then we took a boat ride to check out the monkey islands

our monkey.

their monkeys...

after the boat ride, we checked out a few other animals...

a sleepy tiger

at the bear exhibit

and the playground.

we had max convienced that this tiger was real and he had gotten out of his cage.
he quickly realized we were full of it...

we took in a few minutes of the tiger show,

made a souvenir and then headed to the parking lot for our ride.

and we ended up back at the pool of course...max's favorite place!

catching a ride with grampa!

and we ended our day with gramps' famous fish fry!
