This morning we woke up to a bright, sunny day with temperatures that were supposed to be in the high 40s. Gorgeous! We didn’t have anything planned for the day, so we decided it was time to let Austin check out the Detroit Zoo!
We weren’t very smart; the weather seemed so nice, we just put light jackets on the kids (and I even wore 3/4 length sleeves!). So although it LOOKED like a beautiful day, we were pretty darn cold! Luckily for the kids, we had blankets for them in the car that we wrapped them up in, but our day would have been much better if we had dressed more appropriately!
By the way, the zoo is a GREAT place to play with a new camera. : ) We have lots of animal pictures because I was having a blast using our camera!
We always love visiting the butterfly house:
“Makenna, how many humps does the camel have?” “Humps?!? What’s a hump???” Ha ha:
The tiger, as always, was sleeping:
I still can’t look at the gorilla without thinking about the movie Zookeeper! : )
The peacocks were out like crazy today! Honestly, everywhere we went we were followed by peacocks!
I’m sorry, but ostriches are scary birds! They are especially scary when they march up to the fence and stare you down!
I think they should spray paint the rocks in the rhino pens—it’s awfully hard to see the rhino when it’s the same color as the rocks!
It may have been cold, but we were enjoying ourselves!
The zebras were running and jumping and playing. So fun to watch!
We watched the giraffes for quite a while. We loved seeing them play (plus it was warm inside where we were watching them from!)!
Aww! The zebras were cuddling with each other! : )
The bears do not hibernate, but a sign told us that they sleep quite a bit. They were definitely sleeping when we walked by!
After a picnic lunch, we went to my favorite place—the Artic to see the seals and the polar bear! : )
It was a freezing day, but we had a great time! Next time we will be sure to wear our coats, gloves, and hats! : )
