ZOOOOOO Much FUN!


We always enjoy a day out adventuring and learning together. We had so much fun at the zoo. 

For some reason today Isaiah was totally into birds! It started with the Ostriches. Although you can’t see them in this picture, he was telling anyone that would listen all about the ostriches. The zebra’s and giraffes are a usual favorite, but today he looked right past them and was absolutely fascinated with the big birds. They too were fascinated with the kids and kept running all over the place truly putting on a show for us. 

 Here Birdie Birdie!
 
The bird pavilion is our favorite because it is so interactive. We all get the chance to feed the parakeets and the cockatoos. There are hundreds of these little birds. The children enjoy the birds little feet landing on their hands. It is amazing how soft and ticklish if feels to have their little claws wrap around your fingers.  What a fun adventure…
Elijah was even enjoying these fluttering creatures. This changed once  he decided he was going to grab the little birdies face. The bird opened its beak and pinch! After that Elijah just wanted to watch and not touch.  Poor guy.

That is so cool. I didn't know that you could do that in the bird pavilion. Is that in Fort Worth? We are definitely going to try that one, my Jason would love it. Cailyn loves the Zoo also. What kid doesn't?
