A day at the zoo


Today was a lovely day. A friend invited us to go with her and her two children to the zoo today. Being the animal lovers we are (especially that kid of mine), we jumped at the chance. It was perfect weather, sunny and not too hot. Best of all, every exhibit was open this time! You may remember a trip back in the spring that we took as a family. That was a fun day, too, but there was some construction going on at the zoo so we missed a few things. Today, we finally got to see those polar bears, and we were awe-struck! It was feeding time, and those guys were frisky! The new kids play area was also open, which includes a lemur and meerkat exhibit. I think I could have watched those guys all day.

I always have so much fun watching my daughter at the zoo. She loves all types of creatures, big and small. She is soothed by the belugas, mesmerized by the walruses, creeped out (but excited) about the weird spiders, and she positively flips out over the elephants. She says she wants to be a veterinarian at the zoo when she grows up, and I have no doubt that she will do just that!
