Boulder Ridge

At the beginning of August, we had a play date that had been planned out for awhile to meet up with some friends at the zoo!

John Ball was having their dollar days – so we wanted to avoid the crazy – so we we headed to boulder ridge instead.  we had never been there – but were told it was fun, so we decided to check it out!

When we pulled in, there were zebras right by the fence in the parking lot and the kids thought that was pretty awesome!   

What i liked best about this place was it was super small so you could get up really close to stuff – but yet you still felt like you got to see lots of different animals….

turtles!these guys obviously didn’t read the sign (and mom was too busy taking pictures to read it!)

This was owen’s buddy…he loved watching this giant alligator!

the kids had fun in the bird area…owen was brave enough to hold a stick with some seed on it and hold onto one of them!!

Carson, Alex, Lil, Sydney, Owen, and Lainey, they were SO good and had so much fun together!!!

we took the tractor ride around the park to see the bigger animals, ate lunch and the kids had fun playing in the sandbox are. after that, we did another lap around and looked at the animals again!  it was a fun time with friends!
