Our Day at the Zoo!
Logan and I took a day trip to the Calgary Zoo on June 23rd. We got lost going out of Sherwood Park, due to my (Sarah) amazing navigational skills! Logan though to this day has done nothing but laugh about it in a nice way, and not make me feel stupid for it!
I am a little dyslexic, though I haven't been actually tested. But I strongly believe I am! :D
Anywho, we saw animals from geckos to lizards, to 10ft (I kid you not) snakes,
to porcupines and Zebra's. Everything from Hippos, to little tiny fish. From Tiny monkeys that had Mohawks, to huge elephants! I wish I could put more pictures up here, but I don't want to overwhelm the reader :)Anywho, it was very warm that day so we had some icecream and a slurpee (for quite a reasonable price actually).

Saw random Peacocks everywhere...not sure if that was actually good or not, the one we got close up to was apparently claiming its territory!!
These birds were characters! Seriously!! They are called Blue McCaws!And they only came to the fence closest to us when I brought out my camera, it was almost as if they knew the camera was their time to shine! It was pretty hilarious actually!
There were two of them, you can only see one in this picture, but if you look at the very top of the picture you can see the other one's tail!
They worked together almost like they were mimicking each other!!! It was very humorous!!
And they wouldn't stop doing things until Logan had to practically drag me away from them! I was waaaayyyy to enthralled with them! I probably could have stayed there all day and been happy!
But thanks to Logan, we saw so much other stuff!!!
Our next trip is to Drumheller!
I'm going to show Logan the Royal Tyrrel Museum! He's never seen the mountains or the hoodoo's, or anything of the sort! And seeing as how he wants to see dinosouars, I was like "HEYYYYY!!! Lets go to the Tyrrel Museum! You'll love it!!!". At first he was tentative, not quite sure what he was signing up for, but between you and I, he still doesn't know :P

Love the pic of the monkey lying on his stomach. Just chillin'. The zoo tends to bring out the child in us all, which is a good thing considering all the grown-up pressures we face in a day. The Tyrell will be great. Logan has been (when his grandparents came out). He just doesn't remember. He was quite young. It's a place to mesmerize the brightest of minds.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure its just that he doesn't remember :) But yeah! :)
ReplyDeleteOOOO, I think the monkey was a girl, kinda reminded me of myself! :P
