ZOOOOOOO!!!

For the last day of spring break we decided to road trip down to the zoo... So we woke up early and began our journey. I was like a small child on Christmas... 

Listen while you scroll!!!















we got there just before the gates opened





It was funny because the squirrels were so crazy and brave that I found them at times more interesting than the animals.













Bear watching


I think this was the prettiest animal there.




Gorgeous Cat!








They fed the animals green Ice cubes for St. Patrick's day













Timon

Lions, Tigers, and Bears. Oh my!



















I Got to feed a giraffe!!!




 This Giraffe was weird and kept licking its nose.













Crazy (mean) crow that kept yelling at us.

his name was really Johnathan, but we changed it to David...
David in the lion's den

this was all we could see of the sea lions through the huge crowd.

I saved the best part of the zoo for last. This was the highlight of our trip...
The Laughing Kukaburra

Here is the account of Megan's encounter with the Kukaburra


 all the people who had casually passed by the bird, uninterested came flocking back quickly to see whay was making all the racket and we couldn't stop laughing..everyone kept asking how we got the bird to do such a thing. Folks, here is the answer:


Before heading home, we stopped by the sculpture garden near the museum and walked around, but we got yelled at for  touching the art..whoops. We were tired, so we left shortly after.


This mirror cube was so cool





























We made a quick stop at Smashburger for fries and shakes and drove home.



It was a wonderful, adventure-filled day!!
