We didn't go to the zoo all summer. It was too hot. But today was heavenly. High seventies, mixed sun and clouds.
It took us forever to leave the house. Everyone is too summer-crazy to do things quickly around here. Getting into the car takes at least half an hour... and someone always neglects to bring shoes or something essential.
I stopped at Dominoes on the way to the zoo. $3.99 for a lunch pizza.
We started our zoo excursion on the west side of the zoo... opposite of our normal routine.
We had our pizza picnic right away.
We fed the lorikeets.
They drink liquid gold... at least that's what they charge you for. It looks like Country Time Lemonade.
But the experience was delightful. The birds come right up to you.
The girls wanted the birds to get every last drop. But I think they get so much that they refuse cups that aren't very full.
(Check out these adorable hair accessories the girls have. We got a fun package from some amazing aunts today!)
And in the kangaroo enclosure... "Smile!"
Nice.
This was right before she ducked under the fence to get a closer look. I grabbed her before a roo could snatch her up and tuck June in her pouch.
Whew.
I have never seen all of the Columbus Zoo in one trip. It is too big. We gave up after two and a half hours. We saw approximately 25% of the zoo.
So I guess we will have to go back.
