Next, it was time to board the train. It was a bit of a wait but the zoo has a good train with tunnels that the kids enjoyed. After stopping for lunch and some rides on the carousel Mom, Ella and I went to see the penguins and polar bears while everyone else went to wait in line to pet the sting rays. The penguin house was fun as always. We enjoyed watching them swim and pop out of the water. There was one penguin that kept doing this yelling call that was interesting to hear. The polar bear was kind of hard to see but it was neat when he would get in the water right by the kids that were watching. Another fun animal for the kids was the sea lion. You walk right underneath the sea lions tank and can watch them swim above you. They have them trained so you can throw a glove and they will follow it. Sam, Ella and Aiden all got a chance to throw the glove and watch the sea lion swim.
We got to see quite a few animals but it was a fairly warm day so by the time we made it over to the big cats they were all hiding in their habitat to nap and get out of the sunshine. After seeing the giraffes and zebras , my mom, Emma, Sam and Ella went inside a 4D movie which Sam says was awesome! It was his favorite part of the day. Then after a tour of the insect and butterfly house we headed for the exit as the zoo was near closing time. We finished the day with some swimming in the hotel pool and AC and Grandma brought us dinner. The kids had a fun day but were definitely wiped out at the end, not as wiped out as the three adults were though!
