Day at the Zoo

Monday the kids were out of school for teacher inservice, so we decided to pack up a picnic lunch and head to one of our favorite spots - the Zoo! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the animals were especially entertaining. We even went through the Australia/South America exhibit which we usually skip, and it happened to be bird feeding time. It was a special thrill for the kids to see the big rats that they feed the vultures and the tiny hairless mice, mealworms, and small fish that the other birds get. MMM! ;)
