The Zoo!

I've been a bad blogger lately...I will blame it on the winter blahs. I've just been unmotivated.

Anyway, a few weeks ago we had one of those crazy warm days that tease us during the winter. Since it was close to 70 degrees that day, Noah and I decided to spend the afternoon at the zoo. It was one of the best trips we've had so far, because we practically had the joint to ourselves! There were maybe 30 other cars in the lot that day.



So we really got to see so many animals that day and linger as long as we wanted. Some highlights were:


The lions were both standing on the rock, looking at all of us like they wanted to have us for dinner, and daddy lion was roaring. 99.9% of the time, daddy lion is passed out on his heated rock, so it was really cool to see him awake AND to hear his mighty roar!

Luckily by the time we made it to the polar bear tunnel, one of them had jumped in. We were in the tunnel with 3 other people. So we all just plopped down and hung out, watching him play and swim. Usually the tunnel gets jammed, esp if the bears are in the water. People won't keep moving, and it is no fun at all.





We also had the corridors in the aquarium to ourselves for about 10 minutes. Again, it is sometimes so crowded in there (esp by the penguins), that it's just no fun.

So, the next unseasonably warm day (probably a week day is better, I think everyone will have my idea on a weekend), if you're not busy, hop in the car and go to the zoo. I think you'll see it in a whole new light! And to leave you, here's Noah, pretending to be a flamingo! (Sorry for the crazy spacing in this post...I can't fix it!)
