The Zoo Goes to the Zoo

I dressed the kids up like zoo animals and took them to the zoo to give the animals something to look at.:) Anna was an Elephant, Ben was a Bear, and Kylie was an Alligator. It kept them warm, and, more importantly, it was just plain fun.
And to make the day even better, the animals were actually out an about and interesting to look at. Like the Cranes, Tigers, and Bats. We saw a crane nesting her eggs. She stood up at just the right time, so we got a peek at the eggs. One of the Tigers were very interested in Kylie's Alligator costume. It stopped and tried to smell her through the glass, leaving a streak of Tiger saliva. (Eek!) I never realized how piercing Tiger's eyes are! When we saw the bats they all woke up and started grooming themselves. They're kinda cute. Apparently it was bath time for a lot of the animals when we were there. The monkeys were grooming each other too.
And to top it off, we even got a bag full of daffodils from a zoo gardener who was getting rid of them.
All in all a nice trip to the zoo.
