This year for Christmas I asked Santa for a season pass to the Wildlife World Zoo and because the prices were going to be going up considerably, Santa got me my present a little early this year. There is a new Aquarium that they built on to the zoo, so last Saturday the prices went up about $40 per pass. I got them just before the price increase!! So, on Christmas Eve we decided to load up the kids and head to the zoo. It was empty, which was great of course! We were there less than 2 hours and got to see the entire aquarium and even a few parts of the zoo. It was a lot of fun and I am so excited to be able to take the kids anytime I want to go see the animals and play at the kids play area. There is a new ride that they built as well. It is some kind of a water log ride that goes inside the aquarium through the reef tank and then back outside. They also have a train ride, a sky ride and a boat ride! My kids are very excited about going back. In the aquarium they have a big pool that is open to put your hands inside and touch the sting rays. I know what you're thinking, "isn't that how the crocodile hunter was killed?" They assured us that these were sweet and very safe. So, here are a few pictures of us touching the sting rays.
You can buy some shrimp and put your hand up to the wall for them to come eat it off of your finger. Kind of creepy but very cool.
They are expecting to get 30 more sting rays in by the end of the week.
Dawson wanted NOTHING to do with them!
And of course Brian was in HEAVEN!
Aislyn and I were being very brave. They were very soft and seemed slimy but didnt leave anything on your hands.
Alaina was brave enough to do it all on her own.
Then of course Dawson had to stop to take a rest. Good thing it was as dead as it was.
This is where all the sharks are and the other big fish.
The famous White Albino Alligator.
What has two thumbs, a big smile, and loves alligators? THIS GUY! 
I dont really know what to say about this picture :-)
Some kind of creepy turtle that has a long neck like a snake or something. This picture is for you Ginger! I know how much you love creepy turtles :-)
Aislyn thought this was a perfect place to take a picture. So we did!
The peacock was running loose all around us. They have a Barbie movie that has a peacock in it names Azul, so they kept screaming at the bird, "Come back here Azul!"
And that was our fun trip to the zoo. They wanted to feed the Giraffes but it was too late and cold out for them, so good thing we are going back ;-)
