On the schedule for today was Bright's Zoo, a local zoo specializing in endangered species and education. Nathan had gone last year and got to meet S.J., a Siberian lynx kit, up close and personal, as they say, so he was very anxious to see her again.
But first, we started our exploration at the flamingo pond, and, no, you have not been flocked...it just looks like it in this picture!
It's so nice to see all of them involved and interested in something...and all at the same time!
Hmmmm, I guess even giraffes lick their chops!
It was a little hot that day so a quick run through the cooling spray was welcomed by all!
The various types of monkeys were a big hit, but the boys really enjoyed watching this mama squirrel monkey with her baby on her back...
Bright's is a good place to take a family or a group. Even though their admission prices may seem a little steep for a local zoo, it is so well done and maintained. AND they let you bring your own food and drink in. Even if you opt to purchase food/drink there we were surprised at how reasonable the cost was. We took our lunch in...
I guess a day at the zoo wouldn't be complete without an interaction with a snake or two...
Okay...that's enough reptile interaction for this mimi!
Later, while supper was being prepared, the boys tried their hand at marshmallow and toothpick construction....with some interesting results. And, no, moms, they did NOT get to eat all the marshmallows!
It's been another interesting day....wonder what Day #4 has in store for these boys?
