The zoo has a tiger and a lion, but neither one could be found that day. We did however, find these life-size pictures of big cats and had Tyler stand next to them.
The average polar bear is between 9 and 12 feet tall when standing up. This one was about 9 feet high.
We're all waiting for the penguins to go in the water. All of them were right on the edge of the pool, and everyone was seriously watching for them to dive in the water. When they did there was a chorus of "oohh" "look at that" from the audience -- us included. We're so easily entertained.
Here are the kids next to a life-size picture of a bison.
I've been told that one of Dallin's grandpas used to do this with the grandkids. Addie thinks this is just the funniest thing, and giggles the entire time! :)
The zoo had this huge tree playground & slides. I didn't get a picture of the whole tree -- didn't need all those kids in my picture -- but here is Tyler at the very top waiting to go down one of the really tall slides.
You can barely see her, but Addie is the "turtle."
My 2 joeys who wouldn't cooperate during this potentially really cute photo shoot.
The only thing -- other than food, which we skipped -- that costs money in the zoo is the carousel. And it was $1 for each kid to ride.
You can't go to the zoo without getting pictures of the animals. However, I'm sure we've all seen zoo animals before, and this blog is supposed to be about the family. So, I'm showing the great photography skills of both Dallin and myself in the following pictures. :)

Looks like fun. Those are really cool pictures of the animals at the end. Is the zoo always free, or just for that day? Nothing like a fun filled free day!!!
It's free every day. How cool is that?!?
You were in Madison and didn't tell me?? :) Glad you had fun at the Vilas Zoo! What were you guys doing in Madison?
