Zoo In Winter


"Oh dear, I can't believe I allowed myself to
be talked into this!"

School is out for Christmas break!  Well, public school is.  Homeschool can take the day off whenever it is needed.  Or wait, we can just do a field trip!  The weather could not be more accommodating.  Grab the stroller, the zoo pass, refillable zoo cups, the cousins, and let's GO!



As you can see, we began our day visiting the newly remodeled children's zoo.  It being such a warm day, guess who was out?  Yep, after a brief stop at the Nectaraunt, we braved the Lorikeet exhibit.  Ignore the date on the picture, I'm a lousy camera operator.




Makenna is a natural at this!
No look of horror on her face!







"A bird on the head is worth two in the bush."









"They may try to leave me
behind, but I'm too fast! 
They will NEVER
lose me!"

My little mini-scientist is thinking,
"this small bird just drank a whole cup
of nectar.  It is going to excrete the
waste at any moment.  Oh no,
I'm going to be a bird toilet!"





We'll never be too old for the carousel.











WE LOVE THE ZOO!
