Sneak Peak

This week we have been enjoying warm weather, wearing flip flops and t shirts outside.  NOT today.  Today it was COLD very COLD with bitter winds.  And today was the day I signed up for a sneak peak at the zoo of their new Tiger exhibit. Of course :)  It'll almost double the zoo and we've been waiting all year for it to open.  Our friends braved the cold with us.  And it wasn't too bad if we kept moving and didn't stand still for long.  The actual exhibit wont open until April but members got to go this week and get a taste of what it will be like.  We got to see a few animals but most of them were still be quarantined and weren't out.But it was great to hear from the zoo keepers what animals were going to be in which exhibit and more about the animals. I wish the zoo keepers were out each time we went.  I learned a lot and can't wait to see it all finished. 

 It was fun to run around and see the kids excited. I don't think I've ever been more excited about going to see the snake exhibit as I was today since its really warm there :) 

 We got to be up close to the elephants and giraffes.

 Joel was excited.  Joel walked most of the time but still didn't take a long nap.  There is something really wrong about this kids sleep patterns.  Good thing he's so cute and love-able :)

 Isn't this a sweet picture of Colin and Adah? 

 Something about the elephants made Colin really excited.

Colin used to be taller than Noah but I think Noah has grown a lot this winter.  Joel is trying so hard to be right up there with them.  It was a fun morning and now I'm trying to decide whether to renew or membership for another year or do the Botanical Gardens this time.  Our membership to the zoo ends this month.  The whole tiger exhibit opens next month.  Isn't that always how it goes?
