We spent the Sunday before Emm's birthday at the zoo. Partly as a celebration and partly to see the Dinos! exhibit that they have right now. In addition to the Dinos, we got to watch the zookeeper interact (scratch) Ralph the Emu. Normally you hardly even notice guys like this, so it was a treat.
We also caught the Elephant show with Groucho
It was fun to wander and find the Dinos around the zoo
(although we all wished they were a little more interactive/animated)
In honor of the upcoming birthday, we bought this girl some Dippin' Dots since she always reminds us that unlike her sisters, she has never had them. She picked Chocolate Mint.
It was strange not having Bay with us. We are still trying to adjust to that!
These two also rode the train (only because we had some passes;). Pretty unimpressive Denver Zoo. At least Hogle Zoo gives you a little more of a tour (or at least they used to)
We had a crazy experience in the Lorikeet Adventure. After spending a while in there feeding them nectar .... they all swarmed through us to one side of the enclosure, knocking cups out of hands and scratching the side of Emm's eyelid as they flew by.
Then they all just sat there on the branches like nothing happened ... it was nuts!!
We also got quite a show from the Orangutans, Eirina and Berani.
It was funny to watch Emm introduce them to Rose:)
On the way home we stopped at Good Times for burgers and Blackberry custard ...YUM!
Ice-cream twice in one day was a birthday gift in itself for the little one.
