Zoo day

Norman and I were both able to get some time off for the week of Thanksgiving.  This year we're going to Ferron for Thanksgiving and before we took off we spent a day playing at the zoo.

The train....always a favorite!!

 My little monkey (Norman is behind there holding her up)

 The other monkey (Norman is still back there...he's a lucky guy)

When we go to the zoo we generally get popcorn (a favorite) and as we eat the popcorn we tend to leave a trail of crumbs.  This lucky peacock happened upon our trail and figured he'd hit the jackpot.

 Coming closer

 Where is the source of all of this yummy popcorn?

 Aha! Finally we meet you popcorn dropper you.  I think they may be best friends forever.

The porcupine wanted to come out and stand with Megan for this picture.

 Both looking at the camera and smiling at the same time....no way!!

 We were able to watch them work on training with the seals.  It was really cool.  It wasn't a show, but they work with them year round and we happened to be there during a training session.  I didn't get a picture though.  Matt was intrigued with the props they were using and wanted to try them out as well.

 Who doesn't use a rhino horn to pick one's nose??? geesh...boys!!
