For Rachael's birthday Oma & Opa gave us a season's pass to the zoo! So, seeing as it was Spring Break we decided to try it out. The forecast all week was nothing but rain, but it was looking pretty sunny this morning, so we headed out.
We didn't stick around for the lion and tiger feeding this time - the kids were too cold! But when we were leaving we saw this peacock with it's tail all up. The picture didn't turn out great, but it was very colorful.
Before we left I stepped outside to see how warm it was. The sun was shining and it seemed like a pretty nice day. But when the sun went behind the clouds it was CHILLY! We even saw a bit of the white stuff! What? It's spring! 
But we braved the cold for a few hours, anyway. We didn't go see everything because we can come back whenever we want! At the Vivarium (nice and warm in there!) we got to pet a turtle.
And we saw the Birds Of Prey show. (Not so warm there!) Always impressive.
We saw the baby giraffe. Look how close we got to him!
Ok, so maybe that wasn't the baby. This isn't either, but it's still an amazing animal. The baby giraffe was in his house.

Maybe next time we'll pile the bikes in the back of the truck and the kids can ride around the zoo. It was good practice walking. We were there for two hours and the only sitting we did was at the Birds of Prey show. Of course, walking is a lot easier to do when you get to stop and look at the cool animals all the time.
