To The Zoo!

Hugging Turtles

Since we had to be down in Madison anyway, after the appointments we decided to head on over to the Zoo. I chuckle because Micayla was so excited, like a kid in a toy store. Apparently everyone else had the same idea. Busy.

You'd think that being at the Zoo before, we wouldn't get so excited about the animals, although I do admit, that it doesn't seem to be much there like there used to. A lot of empty areas. Not even elephants. There was something posted about an expansion, and I suppose when you run a zoo on donations, I guess you are limited as to what you can have. I have no idea. Either way it was a beautiful day to get out.

Got some pictures of hugging turtles, giraffes, lions and tigers. Some birds. There was one very photogenic giraffe, and when I look at the lion, I think of Cher in Zookeeper. The male was hiding behind the bushes. Another one was the camel. The usual stuff. It has been a long time since we were there and I noticed that there was a new children's petting zoo. Looked like the usual goats and a lot of playgrounds.

The chimpanzee's were not on display today, and the orangutans weren't moving much. All in all, for free entertainment, it was nice.

Didn't see too much in the aviary. We were hoping to see a sloth, since there was a sign indicating there was one. Maybe it's another time to go visit Milwaukee.
