a day at the zoo


over the weekend, we visited on of ben's favorite places on earth, the zoo. anytime we go on an adventure to a new city, we try to make it a point to visit their zoo. he usually demands to seem the rhinos. but this time around, it was different. elephants. and more elephants. with a few giraffes thrown in totally satisfied him.

we used to have a membership which we let expire, but while we visited, we decided it was a worthy investment to renew our memberships again since its a great day activity for ben and i during the week. picnic lunches & a day full of animals. plus the fact that we can gain early admission in the summer months before it gets too hot totally seals the deal for me. 

here's some photos of our fun morning:



penguins are one of my favorite parts of the zoo - they also always have me wanting to watch mr. popper's penguins when i get home.

fun fact: the galapagos penguin is the only species that ventures north of the equator in the wild?





we're already looking forward to dressing up in costumes for boo at the zoo in a few short weeks + another 12 months of zoo visits.
