Afternoon at the Zoo

So the kids and I hit the zoo Sunday afternoon and it was the best decision we made in awhile. BEAUTIFUL day. Kids were SO GOOD.  I loved every minute of it.  This was the first time I have taken my camera to the zoo, so I took a lot of animal pictures. Unfortunately, Brenley keeps reminding me that I forgot to take pictures of the Horses, Gorillas, and Hyenas.  Oh well. Next time.  Speaking of, Dad Levings, look at your calendar - we need to get you to the zoo!  You would love it!

The cute story of the day was they were having a special penguin exhibit and a zookeeper was there answering questions from the crowd projecting them over a microphone.  Beau raised his hand and asked how long do baby penguins have to wait before they can go in the water.  The lady was like, great question!  And she answered that it takes about 8 weeks for their soft furry feathers to develop into thicker downey feathers which is needed for them to float and swim. So roughly two months.  And because Beau asked a question, Brenley raised her hand and proclaimed to the lady zookeeper that penguins have feathers and that makes them waddle.  She was like, great statement and then went on to explain more about their feathers.  It was cute.

Anyway, loved my afternoon with these two sweet kids.
