One of the exhibits was feeding parakeets. We were given a popsicle stick with bird seed stuck to one side. We walked into a large cage with hundreds of beautiful green parakeets. They flew up to our arms and perched while they ate the food from our sticks.
Harper didn't want to hold her own stick, but she was all about touching the bright green feathers. She loves birds!
Waving to the monkeys.
Watching the giraffe.
As always, the kids fed the giraffe.
Patiently waiting for the train to start.
Lately, Lake has been fascinated with cows' udders. I'm not sure what started this fascination, but we have daily conversations about how baby cows drink from their mommy's udders, and he has now learned that cows are not the only animal that feeds their young this way. He was excited to be able to milk a "pretend" cow.
Trying to figure it all out. :)
Feeding the hungry goats.
If only Nana and Papa had fish in their pond that looked like these fish.
It was super hot so the kids cooled off by the spraying elephant.
This picture pretty much sums up our day! :)
Wow it looks like the kids had a fun day at the zoo! Lake needs to come to Deana Rose and milk the cow there. He would love it.
