At the zoo


Britt learned about farm animals in her zoo class this morning.

They turned us loose after visiting the few farm animals on the premises, and we decided to go see the lorikeets again. But we came across this mist-dispensing thingy first, and I didn't think I was ever gonna get Britt away from it.

It did feel pretty good on such a hot day.

When we finally made it over to the lorikeet enclosure we paid two bucks for a little cup of nectar, and Britt had no trouble making new friends.

Visiting the lorikeets

In fact, they just loved her.

Or her ponytail holders, at least.

Before we left the enclosure, Britt learned a little bit about the birds and the bees when a particularly uninhibited couple made the beast with four wings right in front of her.

Getting an unexpected education

In the gutter, no less.

And the zoo used to be such a nice place to take the kids.
