I can't believe that I've been so busy lately, that I almost didn't go to the FREE zoo day yesterday! I'm so glad we decided to go. Sometimes it is just really good to pretend your mile-long list doesn't exist - at least for a couple hours!
Ethan really liked the big cats
And the giraffes seemed to be Madeline's favorite. Hence the unhappy face in the picture . . . since I was making her turn away from them:
And the peacock gave us a great show!
Have you ever seen the back of a peacock when his feathers are up? I thought the brown feathers were a little surprising. Compared to the blue, they sure were an interesting contrast . . .
Madeline also liked watching the little Mara eat. Mara? Yeah, I don't really know what they are either, but if you'd like to know more, you are welcome to ask Ethan!
Ethan liked seeing ALL the animals, as if that is a surprise to anyone who knows about his animal obsession. And he would say things like, "Look! There's a lemur" or "Yes! I knew this zoo had Mandrills" before reading the sign to see what they were.
All in all, it sure was a fun day! Nothing like a FREE trip to the zoo!

That is weird with the peacock, never would have guessed that.
And yes Free is always good. And really kids are only kids for so long, free is only free for one day, so lists can wait. :)
We did have fun!
