The zoo!

On Saturday the weather was beautiful- 65 and sunny. Hubs and I decided we should spend as much time as possible outside. We decided on the zoo! So, we suited up in sweatshirts and hit the road. Apparently, everyone else in the city had the same idea. Or at least every other person. Our cool side entrance was closed, seeing as it is off-season, and we actually got to use the main entrance.

Which means we got to go to the gift shop. And this means he hubs was finally able to buy big guy a rain stick! Yes, they still exist. Apparently. Of course we bight it and big guy was very curious about the sounds it made. Side note- when we got home, hubs was so excited that he mad evil guy play with it. Until he was holding over his head shaking it and rain stick particles were falling in big guy's eyes. Best $10.87 we've spent recently.

We hit up the tortoises first and ate some lunch while watching kids run around. Then some peahens and peacocks showed up. Those were fun! We saw the giant tortoises eating lettuce, tomatoes, and bananas. Yum!

Followin this we saw went to the big cats. We got up close and personal with some tigers. Picture to come soon- big guy puked on our laptop and it has since been on a death spiral. The tiger was leaning against the glass so big guy was tapping the glass and squealing in joy. At one point the tiger actually lifted its head in wonder of what could possibly be making that high pitched of a noise. Or a fly had landed on her. That's right, I was a mama tiger.

Following the big cats, we saw some bears and penguins. Overall, a fantastic day at the zoo. I'm sad that the weather is turning cold. No more outdoor adventures. But now we get to do some indoor adventures instead!
