It started to get pretty warm and the animals do what they do, lay down and hide. I guess when that happens, you make the most of it and I was pretty happy to get the opportunity for this next picture.
So, as the day started to heat up and it got close to lunch-time, we found a nice cool place to eat. Buying lunch for a family of four at the zoo? Your loan has been approved, sir. You can eat now. Yikes.
So, off to one of their cooler exhibits. They have a Lory enclosure that is a really neat thing for the kiddos.

And that's what happened, the little guy in green was actually pulling our zoo tickets out of my pocket. I guess he thought it was the key to a slick escape. The ugly green "cover" shirt with leaves on it was also a hit with the little guys. They were pulling at it with their beaks. You can buy these little condiment cups full of nectar at the concession stand and walk on in with them. As soon as I walked in, one of the little guys pounced and actually pulled the lid off to get at the stuff. It was kind of funny.

Looks like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely did. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Great pics and a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keads. It sure beat sitting at home watching some horrific children's show that I'm pretty sure were designed just to torture parents.
ReplyDeleteI took Brigid III to the zoo in her little stroller. Denver, high altitude, stroller with 50 pounds of baby tactical gear. Grandma may be young and in decent shape, but DAMN.
ReplyDeleteShe had no interest at all in the large animals, but the jungle exhibit with snakes and spiders and fish. Oh yeah, she didn't want to leave. I HATE spiders. Next thing you know she's going to grow up and get a Glock like Mommy and totally ignore Nana B's nice 1911.
We took two strollers and bags and all of the "too much" stuff parents tend to take. Pushing all of that around as the sun climbed in the sky started to take it out of us.
ReplyDeleteBoth of mine absolutely love all kinds of animals. It's not surprising since both mom and dad have Zoology backgrounds. I'll just be thrilled if the girls are into guns at all, though I'd like to culture them a little before they go to tupperware.
Next time you are heading there, let us know. We can add an insane 3 year old boy and another stroller to the mix.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to meet up there when it cools down some. We decided to do this Friday afternoon and I knew you were hitting the gun show this weekend. As you know it's pretty much a half day because naptime ends all activities.
