Lunch with peacocks...

It's not everyday you get to eat lunch with peacocks! They are little scavengers I tell you! Children (and adults) have no qualms with avoiding the 'do not feed the animals' signs.

We spent most of Memorial Day at the Detroit Zoo with Matt, Amy, Kathleen, Dale, and their niece Erika. It was an absolutely beautiful day an we all had a great time. I have a lot of pictures to share so happy scrolling...One picture that you won't see is a picture of a pregnant woman. I had no idea that was the hip thing to do when you were pregnant, I never read that it any of my pregnancy books! Seriously, I have never seen so many pregnant women all in the same day and same place like that. Amazing! Ok, back to the pictures.

In the car, on the way to the zoo. As usual Brynn is sucking her thumb.

In the parking garage holding her animal book. We pointed out what animals she might see at the zoo.

Brynn & Dale in their strollers ready for action.

Camels & deer just chillin. This was the common theme for the day. Most animals were just laying around basking in the sun or in the shade.

Brynn enjoying the waterfall.

Tiger

Lazy lion (or Simba as Brynn called him) Sing it with me, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps today, ahhweee!"

Rhinocerous

Warthogs (or Pumbba as I like to call them) The zoo has big billboards around the city promoting their warthogs and that you have to come see them...but there were only two. Nice to see they spend their almost non-existent funds on ads like this! Ha!

Zebras

Grizzly Bear

Giraffe. They were in an inside exhibit as the zoo remodels their outside habitat.

Bison

Prairie Dogs...there's a little baby one on the right if you look closely.

Anteaters & Capybara

Polar Bear...the zoo staff thinks she might be pregnant with twins.

Another Polar Bear - Detroit has the worlds largest polar bear exhibit.

(Dead?) Kangaroos...they were sleeping, I think.

Couch potatoes

Brynn laughing as she was being sprayed with a mist of water.

Wow, a family photo! All three of us made into the same picture.

Tuckered out! Didn't even make it out the of the parking garage.

We look forward to going back next year! I will have to work on my sunscreen coverage skills though. I have a ridiculously looking farmer's tan (sunburn). I am as white as a ghost and you think I would know how to prevent a burn by now.
