Friday was a snow day.
We decided to go to the Zoo. It was one of our favorite zoo trips.
I left the pictures in full color because of the red flower and blue frog and Macaws and peacock.
Pink Fairy Duster - In the Desert Dome
Tawny Frogmouths
These birds are so unique looking! I stared at them a while and then had to go back to watch them some more. I tried not to be rude, but it seems that in general, birds do not mind being stared at as much as dogs and cats do.
Roadrunner
This roadrunner showed us the stick he had found, then put it down to pick up a piece of grass. He pranced the grass blade back and forth in front of us, then set that down too. I love his personality!
Baby Map Turtle!
Courtyard Outside the Jungle
Blue Dart Frog
Macaws
In the Aquarium
Sometimes we don't even go into the Aquarium because it tends to be pretty crowded. This day was perfect! Maybe a half dozen other people besides the Zoo Team were in the entire Aquarium during the time we were there.
Penguins! This picture is for Dave Nelson and Evan Choi :)
Our favorite part of the Aquarium, the tunnel, had no other people in it. We have never gotten to go through it alone! We stayed to make friends with the turtles and rays.
This. This is what got us to the Zoo on such a snowy morning. How precious is he?? Mama was not too impressed with us being close, so we only stayed to take a couple pictures and congratulate her <3
This was a very fun day! Next time, we should go together!
