Spring Extended 2009 Chatt Family & Tampa Zoo

I just reviewed pictures I just downloaded from Jennifer's camera and I am falling behind FASSST! Our summer trip up North has filled both camera's and there is no memory left....I downloaded over 1500 pictures that Jennifer has taken from Tampa Zoo, the trip to San Diego, Pennsylvania, and New York. Not to mention my trip to New York for David's wedding. So, I better get cracking and posting pictures.

Gram and Grampa came out in March and had some fun with Grayson. They went to the Tampa Zoo which is a fantastic zoo for children. Grayson has been to the zoo plenty of times but rarely participates in the rides. Jennifer picked up an unlimited ride pass and Grayson was the beneficiary. Grayson rode the boomer flyin bananas which represent giant bananas. The ride goes in a circle and has levers that allowed Grayson to go up and down although I am not sure he figured that out as the ride takes over without intervention. The jungle carousel is great for all ages. How can you not go on a carousel? The next ride? A camel, that is right. The Tampa zoo has a camel ride much like a pony ride except most camels can accommodate two riders. Finally, the last ride was Graysons favorite for now, the Treetop Skyfari ride. Grayson could not talk enough about the Skyfari ride. It is basically a ski lift that travels well above the zoo and lets travelers see most of the zoo from the tree tops. Grayson went on the ride seven times at least that is what he told me and Jennifer nodded her head, "yeah, it was alot of times."

Take a look below at the pictures and hopefully I kick the Chatt blogging into high gear as more posts on all our trips in the last few months as well as a bunch of great old pictures of the Chatt family. I am counting on Jennifer to scan some great pictures great Gram had. Jennifer, make it happen!
