Pumpkin PaZOOla

Well, I'm just now getting around to posting this, but I wanted to get it done before we start singing Christmas music, hanging lights, and decorating the Christmas Tree!

About a month ago, the girls and I (along with Grandma and Grandpa Mahoney) went to Pumpkin PaZoola at the Rolling Hills Zoo here in Salina.

We had gone once before two years ago and we thought it was a lot of fun. And, since I failed to get us to the zoo this year during the summer months, we felt it most appropriate to go and check it out!


We had a great time! And, it was a beautiful day!


We learned the first time that it was important to get there right when it opened and get our faces painted first!  Last time, we waited until the end and we missed out on getting that done!

So, we managed to be the first ones in line for facepainting and we got that "checked" off the list for the day!

Maddie chose a cat.


Ashlyn and Brooke wanted "fireworks"!




Next we spent some time picking out our pumkins!  Every child received a free pumpkin and we wanted to have a good selection to pick from. 

 
Lastly, we just spent time at the zoo...checking out all the animals!!!


We laughed at this duck. It wouldn't stop sticking its tail in the air!! It was so funny!



I loved these turtles....


 We even got to play on the inflatables they had there for the event! The girls had a blast.



And we saw more of the animals...


Have you ever seen a black swan...  BEAUTIFUL!


And, we pondered how the flaminga manages to sleep standing on one leg.... hmmmm....


Isn't the Zoo a great place?
