Kangaroos and Tigers and (polar) Bears, Oh my! (Lions are off exhibit due to construction so we substituted Kangaroos today.)
This weekend Tommy was at a wedding in Houston so I was in charge of activity planning for the family. When I opened the door to let Kira outside this morning and was met with a blast of hot air, I immediately knew a long-awaited trip to the zoo was in order.
We thought the zoo might be mad at us because it has been a long time since our last visit and we were starting to be known as zoo regulars. This winter just beat us down but we did manage to visit the zoo's indoor exhibits a few times. Turns out the animals did forgive us for not visiting very often this winter.
Today on the other hand, was glorious. I even made the decision to leave the stroller at home because I knew the kids needed some exercise in the warm sunshine. I didn't regret leaving it at home because both kids made it walking for the full three hours we were there. Now we did stop for a snack in the Polar Bear exhibit, then we stopped at the kangaroos for some cantaloupe, then we rode the train 1.5 times around the loop, then we stopped and ate PBJ with the elephants, and then we rode the carousel. So we did get a lot of breaks during our visit. It was such a fun morning!
It is so amazing how much a little sunshine can do for a family on a Sunday morning in April!
