Ever since last November when Rob got me a zoo pass for my birthday we have had several trips to the zoo. Fortunately, they have had some new things that we have never experienced which has kept things exciting.
Of course, every trip to the zoo has a carousel ride requested. And Haley 95% of the time will ride the tiger.
OTTERS! Sometimes they are out, sometimes not. But the few times they have been out they have been very active. Playing in the water, going into their den then carrying fish back out to eat, right in front of us. Super fun to see them being active.
One of the special days we went to was Cats and Cocoa. The kids got to do a small craft, free hot chocolate for the families, then we all crowded into this tiny space to watch the keepers show off the tigers. They talked about tigers, which I only caught about 10% of what they said because we were just trying to watch everything the tiger did. They would feed the tiger through that fence barrier. The coolest was when the tiger would stand right up and show off it's size! Really neat!
The tigers especially loved the warm milk they were giving. And Haley loved it all!
Another special day was the Polar Bear White Out. Caleb and I missed the polar bear part, because of a choir practice. But I guess one of the things they gave the polar bear was a box, with some food inside, that also had this blue dye in it. Hence, the blue polar bear.
Caleb and I did make it in time for the pinniped show. This seal was really fun to watch. He did all sorts of cool moves like this and even some very splashy flips in the water. What is not pictured were the really cute sea lions that were also part of the show. They were so fun to watch as they did their own tricks and moves through the water.
We have been having some fun times at the zoo! Thank you, Rob, for letting us experience it all together!
