Going to the zoo on beautiful fall days! See alllll the people there? Oh wait. That's us! When we go in the fall there is never a crowd to fight. We get front row viewing for all the animals. Each time we go, we set a goal of seeing or doing something new, something we've never seen or done before. Today's trip was a bonanza!
Anna was playing with a sea lion in the aquarium. She would trace her finger on the window and the sea lion would follow her every move. Even spinning in circles! I bet we stood there doing that for 20 minutes.
One of the big highlights for the smaller people was feeding the giraffes. This is a new thing at our zoo. We took our place second in line to get the special "nutritional supplement" to feed the giraffes. Many signs warned of the dangers of feeding the tall critters "people food." Don't want to upset their delicate nutritional needs.
Imagine my surprise when the zoo lady shows up with a huge rubbermaid bucket of .....lettuce. Yep, the most expensive lettuce I've ever bought. At that price, those giraffes better be getting organic lettuce!
The monarch butterflies were migrating and they were everywhere! It always cracks me up because we'll see the most ordinary critters (think squirrel) and the kids will just stop and watch it like they've never seen one before.
