Aunt Marty and Sarah came in to town for the week, so one of the days they were here we headed to Hogle Zoo...It was so fun! I forgot my camera, and was so disapointed that Ronie let me be in charge of hers (Mostly because she tends to drop hers in the animal exhibits :) Her and Kris kept saying "Amy, it only holds 100 pictures..." I told them to be quiet, that I was capturing moments! (Hopefully, they will look back and be happy I captured so many!) Skylar and Chase were so good, it wasn't too terribly hot, and I have never been to the zoo when so many animals were out on the prowl...I'm generally disappointed because they are all hiding somewhere in their little habitats, but so many were right up next to the fences...It was so cool. The rhino was feeding right next to the little observation window. Those things are huge!
I think the thing I was most amazed by were the ostrich's that were right next to the railing...(Did you know their eyelids are on the bottom, so when they blink their eye closes from the bottom, not from the top like ours...weird!) Chase was dying to see the lions and tigers, and the camels, but at the end of the day the baby elephant was her favorite. Skylar loved the meerkats...they were so cute! They were hugging each other just like humans do....Ronie wanted to bring the red panda home with us, & Cyd got to see the leopard pace up and down the fence...I'm not sure what Sarah's favorite was...She just loved the clever names on all the buildings like the "Zoo-tique" instead of Boutique, and the "Beast"ro...When we made it home, we were all pooped but it was really a super fun day...So glad we went!
