When I looked up the prices, we decided that they weren't too bad, but once we got there, and add the train ride and the dino park and everything else, it takes a bite out of the old wallet. But it was so worth it!! Then, I brought all the stuff to make sandwiches, except bread, so we had to buy hotdogs too. Bummer. But Dave and I enjoyed watching the boys discover the beautiful creatures on the earth, and although it was a long day, it never did rain on us, and it wasn't too hot. It was a perfect day! I only took like 60 pictures or something, so here are some of the highlights:The Dinosaur park: they had robotic dinos that moved and roared and spit. They were kind of scary, notice the white knuckle grip...
Dave was a little annoyed that there was a farm section at the zoo, but the goats were fun to pet.
Our little eagletts in the eagle's nest.
I love the elephants. The baby elephant would pick up the hay and dip it in the water before eating it. We decided he is just like our kids that like to dip their food in ketchup before eating it.
Did you know that lions sleep/rest 20 hours each day? Makes them kind of boring to look at.
I think everyone's favorite as feeding the Lorikeets. We were really hoping they would hop onto our shoulder or hand, but at least we got them to drink our "nectar" (apple juice) from our cups.
Then we rode the train. It took us out of the zoo and through beautiful green forest and then back. It was about a 35 minute ride and was delightful.
Dave wasn't sure it was a good idea to take the bike trailer as our stroller, but it ended up being one of my better ideas, and even Dave acknowledged how great it was.
Do you like our new shirts?
