A Day At The Zoo

No, not my house. We actually went to the zoo today with the Mom group. There is one very small, but nice, zoo in our town. It consists only of animals that are incapacitated and rescued from the wild or from inappropriate captive situations. It takes about an hour to see all the animals which is just enough time for a 2 and 3 year old. We usually pack a lunch and play at the playground also, but we had to leave early today as Emily had a well visit at the Doctor. The kids favorite animal changes each visit. Usually they love the huge black bear. He gets fed in the morning and it's so much fun to watch him eat his breakfast. He's very meticulous and will even peel an orange. The kids today were all about the pigs. We were the first visitors today. It seemed each animal that we went to see was happy to see us and would come to the front of their enclosure to say hello. Maybe I give them too much credit and they just wanted to see if anybody was edible. In any case, the kids had a great time, nobody got eaten and we got an up close and personal view of a lot of the animals.
