Animals Galore!

We had a lot of animal encounters at the beginning of the week!

On Monday we went to the zoo.  As usual, we started off at the playground while it was still cool.


Then we fed the lorikeets.


Rylan got a little annoyed that this bird decided to peck his hand on the railing after he finished eating from his cup!


The hand washing station is pretty cool with water coming out of the birds' mouths (and air coming out of the other end to dry your hands!).


In the petting area, there were a pair of baby camels.  This massive guys are only 4 1/2 months old!!!


After the zoo, I took the boys running on the greenway because it was much cooler than normal so they could handle a mid-day run in the stroller.  Rylan slept through the run but Carter and I got to see a family of deer with a cute baby!


On Tuesday we attended a program at the Brentwood Library with the Natural History Educational Company.  It was pretty good but the guy doing the show was odd.  He didn't seem to like kids, at all.  He kept reprimanding them for the littlest things (like sitting with their legs in front of them on the floor instead of criss-crossed).

But the kids did get to see a salamander, turtle, possum, raccoon, and bobcat up close!
