First Trip To The Zoo 2013

Sunday we took our first trip to the zoo this year. With the aquarium closed, it is more challenging to make the commitment to go when it's cold out. Sunday was nice and warm and we needed to get out of the house while Adam and his dad finished the kitchen. 

The big polar bears were out, but the babies are still in seclusion. They should make their public debut in May sometime. 

But we did get to see both baby giraffes. One is about 2ish and the other was just born recently. 










We spent some time in the aviary. One of the keepers was cleaning an exhibit with this peacock pheasant. When she gave him a peanut, he would take it to his woman and show off his feathers. He was like a mini peacock. The keeper was telling me about the new Walkabout exhibit coming in May. They are going to have a wallaby walkabout, and Great Barrier Reef and some Australia birds. It should be pretty cool!



We can't not see baby Lucas



They had lots of activities set up in Nature's Neighborhood including puppets that Ben had fun with
