Lay’s Chip Trip – Zoo Style

Published by on

Our first of many Lay’s® Chip Trips this summer was to the Edmonton Valley Zoo.

Using Lay’s® Chip Trip points is super EASY and you can print out the savings on your home printer. In this case, for the cost of one small bag of chips (approx value $1), we saved the cost of one adult entry to the Zoo (value $5+).

If I haven’t told you before, Georgia is animal crazy. Sam is just an animal, hence the bars (I jest). With their birthdays being just days apart and having ‘animals’ in common, we decided the zoo would be a fun outing birthday outing.

This is Lucy. She’s lovely and smart. I love elephants. We started the day with an educational elephant show, no weird circus tricks, just information and Lucy participates.

Speaking of weird circus tricks, Sam not to be outdone showed us his weird thumb-bending trick. Well done son, I’m so proud.

Georgia was thrilled with a pony ride.

Lizzy was disappointed not to ride, but as you can see, she was way too BIG!

Georgia likes to think she is a wolf. She howls like a wolf, and devours books on wolves, yet she refused to pose with a wolf. Go figure.

They all loved the ‘hands on’ approach in the petting zoo.

Lizzy’s getting too old and too cool, to ride the train. Sam and Georgia are NOT.

I haven’t been to the zoo in years and years – since my daughter was just a couple of years old, and she was too young to appreciate it, she just kept asking when we could leave.

I should go just for myself (and get some good pics like yours).

I personally like the shot behind bars. :)

What a great promotion. Wish they were doing the same thing in the U.S.!

    @Amber’s Crazy Bloggin’ Canuck, I like the shot behind bars too. I hope it’s not a sign of things to come.

    It is a great promotion. You should tell your Canuck relatives :) There are some great Calgary deals.

Your photos are really great! I’ve always enjoyed going to the zoo. I grew up in the Bronx, NY and believe or not, we have one of the best zoos. I’d go every few months. Since I’ve been in Florida, I have to admit that I still haven’t been to our local zoo. You’ve got me thinking of a day trip though.

BTW, my daughter Sammi had the same shirt as Georgia until she grew out of it :)

    @ConnieFoggles, Thanks Connie! I’ve heard great things about the Bronx zoo. I love zoos.

    I don’t know if Georgia’s shirt will last until she grows out out of it, she wears it a LOT.

    Thanks so much for stopping by.
