Atypical weather = zoo day on December 23

The weather has been so crazy this winter, so far.  The kids were off school the entire week before Christmas, so by December 23 we were getting stir crazy.  It was raining outside, but pleasant.  70 degrees, but rainy.  So we grabbed the umbrellas and went to the zoo.  It was PERFECT!!!  Nobody was there, the animals were moving, it was great!  I'm going to try to remember to go to the zoo on rainy days from now on to avoid the crowds.

It's not every day you get to pose with Christmas Trees at the zoo.

We had the new Polar Bear, Cali, to ourselves…...

Peyton got this sealion to follow her lead for a good 3 minutes.  Peyton loved it!  The sealion mustve been bored with no activity at the zoo too!

He would even spin circles when she would spin her hand.  She thought she was a true trainer.  HA!

We got to learn about a constrictor and pet him.  EWWW!

The hippo was actually OUT of the water.  The kids thought that was cool….we usually only see them in the water.  d

ShEW!!!  What a fun day we had!!!
