Yesterday was scout day at the zoo and my awesome friend Zoila called to tell me and forward me the flier that you had to have to get in free. Scouts in their uniform got in free, R and I thought about wearing ours but opted out since neither of us is currently serving and that wouldn't be honest. We hadn't been since they added the aquarium and it was cool, and that could have a double meaning since we started out later than we planned and we looked at the outside animals first, it was getting a tad warm so the air conditioned aquarium was awesome! We got to pet starfish which didn't feel like I thought it would, not hard but not soft or squishy either, somewhere in between, also got to pet horseshoe crab and a sea urchin and some stingray. Very cool!
The thing I love most about this zoo is that you are so close to the animals. you could literally reach out and pet so many of them like the jaguars sleeping over our heads or the zebra eating RIGHT there. The ostrich that I thought for sure R was going to be pecked by because he was so close and the Rhea's he was taking pics of that kept fluffing his feathers.
You can't leave before you go into the petting zoo! This little fellow wouldn't stop climbing all over R. They had lots of babies this year. The white tigers have been moved outside, they had a baby llama in the petting zoo, some baby mountain lions, baby zebra, the baby giraffes weren't so little anymore but looked little next to their parents, and many more!
I love going to this zoo, it's ridiculously expensive so we only go anymore on coupons or free days but it's always worth it!
