While Mark's parents were here, one of the things we all wanted to do was visit the zoo. Mark and I should really invest in an annual pass as it seems to be the thing we do when we want to get out of the house for a day but not really drive anywhere out of the city. We also love going at different times of the day so that we can see different animals as some are more active at opening time and some closer to closing. This time we went early in the morning so some of the animals were being fed and were a bit more active then they would be later on in the heat of the day.
This time the highlight, like when we went when I was 38 weeks pregnant was the kiwi. We actually saw the kiwi at the zoo! Twice now! Unfortunately, you can't take photos because of the "night light" in the display.
The giraffes as always were a favorite of both myself and Joanne. I also enjoy the big cats while Mark loves the Galapagos turtle. A lot of the chickens that roam around the zoo also had little fluffy baby chicks with them. Adorable.
The rhino was amazing as well as it was the best view we've had of him in all our trips to the zoo. The flamingos were also a thrill to watch as it was early morning and they were all dancing and squawking and preening their feathers. Here are some of the photos that highlight the best parts of this particular trip to the zoo
