Have I Mentioned...

...that I love the ABQ Zoo!

Chet has been out of town the last 2 weeks and so when he got home on Thursday we picked up the kids and headed to the zoo. I was really excited to go because the burrowing owls had 4 baby chicks! Owls are my very favorites. :)

The daddy and 3 of the babies.

See where the Daddy is standing guard? There are 2 burrows there each with a chick poking his head out.

After quite a while ;) we went and got some ice cream and then headed to the cat walk. The lions are at the end of the cat walk. The first time we went to the zoo we got a surprise when the male lion started roaring. Unfortunately we only had Chets phone to take video with so the quality wasn't very good. Now whenever we go we are prepared and this time we weren't disappointed!

They were both just lying around when all of a sudden the male stood up and started roaring at the female who was sleeping under the tree. She then started roaring back at him. It was a quick conversation but apparently they both had something to say. :)
