Sunday Night Fun

The Birmingham Zoo

Sunday afternoon I looked over at my overworked, busy husband and decided he needed a play break with the kids.

The zoo has extended its hours a few nights a week during the summer, so with our trusty yearly membership in hand (thanks Pops and Grandma Jayne) we made a quick escape to see some animals. From the time we made the decision to go to the time we arrived at the zoo only 40 minutes passed, definitely a new record.

I highly recommend using these extended hours. It was much cooler and there was hardly anyone there.

We started by showing Daddy the kangaroos.

We had quite a long conversation with some lemurs. Notice that the lemurs do not look to amused.

We ended our trip with a visit to the barn. It was feeding time and this made the animals very chatty. This was pretty exciting.

It was so wonderful to be able to squeeze this family time into a pretty full weekend. I'm so glad we did!
