Another Trip to the Zoo

On Saturday, the weather was so nice that we wanted to get out and do something. So we headed to our favorite place, the zoo. We always have a fabulous time there and this time was no exception. Of course we made our way to all of our favorites like the polar bears and the big cats. At the end of the "Catwalk" we stopped at the duck pond to feed the ducks. While we were feeding them Liv and Harris discovered that the ducks would eat out of your hands. They thought it was so fun.



After feeding the ducks we went to see the seals. Olivia loves seals and often wishes she could swim like one. ;) Exiting the seal area leads to "Australia". There were several new animals there, one of which was a wombat! Which I have decided is one of my new favorite animals! SOOOO cute! I just wanted to snuggle with him!

 SO CUTE!

There was also a Kookaburra. I remember watching Zoboomafoo with Liv on time and there was a kookaburra on the show and they said that the only way to get them to sing is for them to hear other kookaburras. Thinking this would be a cool thing for the kids to hear I looked up the sound they make on my phone and played it for the bird. And what do you know, he sang!



The kids really got a kick out of this and wanted me to do it again. We tried several more times but he just wouldn't sing again. We finally gave up and continued on our way to Africa.

Whenever we are in "Africa" the hippos are always underwater sleeping. This time however they weren't! It was so cool to see them actually doing something. Harris, of course, was terrified. He has always hated hippos. I think that he has heard (more than once) on a certain ride that hippos don't attack unless they wiggle their ears and blow bubbles. Which they always do when they come out of the water. So he didn't think it was as cool as the rest of us did. ;)



It was another great afternoon at the zoo!
