This morning Cole and I went to breakfast with the turtles at the Phoenix Zoo. It's a monthly program that they offer and the main attraction this month was turtles. We dropped off the little guy at grandma and grandpas and Cole and I headed off for our special date with the turtles. We started off by first feeding all the turtles at the entrance of the zoo. Did you know that they eat dog food and lettuce? They knew it was feeding time and headed over like krispy kreme just opened or something!
Next was breakfast along with some fun activites! Cole and his friend Gigi enjoyed the bagels and muffins.
We learned today that sea turtle eggs are actually the size of ping pong balls and their mama's bury them in the sand. When they hatch they dig themselves out of the sand and crawl out to sea.
Next we headed to the turtle exhibt. We each got a carrot to feed the tortoises. It was so cool!! Cole got a little scared at first but evenutally warmed up.
Feed me!
It was a fun day and we can't wait for November - Giraffes!!

Sooooo cool! I can't wait to do that sometime with you!
That looks like a really cool thing the zoo has going on there. I love the picture of the turtle after he ate the carrots. :)
