Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Trip To The Zoo And Lunch With A Peacock

Trip To The Zoo And Lunch With A Peacock
HIGH: A GORGEOUS fall day at the zoo :)
LOW: We had to go to a wake for a close friend who lost a very special family member :(


The weather was gorgeous today so my zoo buddies (Jessica and Giada) joined us and we headed to the zoo.  
It was pretty cool because the whole zoo was decorated for Halloween.
We had a blast not only looking at all the animals but checking out all the Halloween stuff too.
We had a great picnic lunch in the sun and a friend joined us. Mr. Peacock.
This peacock would not leave us alone, he was hilarious.
Claire thought he was the greatest thing going.  She was like the Peacock whisperer.  While we were all trying to get rid of the Peacock so that we could finish our lunch, Claire was chatting with her new friend.
Oliver had a blast being strapped to my chest.  I couldn't get too many pictures of him because of his position but here is the best that I could do.  How awesome is his hat?
My little thug.
Claire's favorite thing today was the Giraffes.  Which is new, but she was super into them.  This guy kept licking the wall and the girls thought that was just amazing!

Also, we got to see the new baby gorilla that was born at the zoo!  It was born on October 8th and is super cute!  They do not know the sex of the baby because the mother will not let anyone else get close to the baby. The way the mother gorilla held her baby was so human like, it was super sweet.

 So, overall it was another great trip to the zoo.  Maybe we can squeeze in ONE more trip before the snow falls???

Mark and I had to go to a wake today.  A very good friend of ours lost a special family member.  The Wood family we are very sorry for your loss.
Skip you will missed by many!
