Field Trip Journal - Zoo Trip

What can I say? The weather was perfect. The last day of our year pass. Daddy's last day of work at his job. The kids have been begging. All good reasons to hit the zoo for a fun field trip.


Our first stop was the Siamang jungle gym where the kids try their hand at being siamangs.

 Then we hit the meerkats basking in the sun.

I guess this lemur just wanted to see more of the action. He was peering over his cage at the people animals outside.

The flamingos are usually outside but I also got the construction of the new sea lion exhibit in the background.

Hyacinth Macaw.

 Komodo Dragon. This one's a baby.

 Some lizard that I can't remember.

 Two monkeys that I can't identify either.

Playground Action.

 Serious motorcycle dude.

We hardly ever get to see the Cheetah up and walking around.

See those two brown things next to the leaves in the center of the pic? Those are the sloth's toes curled over the edge of a wall in the rainforest exhibit.

One of our faves - the tamarins.

Kingly nap.

 The arctic fox.

The baby chimpanzee was hanging from the tree branch swinging over the older ones on the ground.

Giraffe trying for a bit of green on the ground.

Had to run by the zebras for Betty.

Always a hit - the train!

We were exhausted after it was all over, but we had a great time at the zoo. See ya next time!
