Zoo Trip

Now that we are members, we get special perks from the Zoo! One of them is Nights at the Zoo. Basically, the zoo closes early, kicks everyone out, and sets up exhibits and food from local restaurants. Then, the gates open again for Zoo Members! It was really fun to see the animals in the evening. The weather was perfect, no mosquitos, rain or terrible heat. There was also really great food and music too! The best part was, it wasn't nearly as crowded! We took advantage of seeing the animals closer and getting to talk with animal caretakers! We even got a little daring and fed the birds! It was a little challenging to get the birds, but once you get one, they all come! Ascher wasn't hesitant at all either. I was very impressed! Immer and I got birds, and then shared them with Ascher. He was a little too low to actually get the birds himself.



He also got a really nifty tattoo....which he eventually cried and said he didn't like it and wanted it off. Yeah.....not going to happen at the zoo!

The best part was definately the carosel! We weren't sure if he would love it or hate it....but we took our chances! Luckily, he loved it! I rode very nicely, waving and screaming and laughing the whole time. Towards the end, Immer started to get a little concerned becuase Ascher was looking a little green.....but it cleared up when the train came around! All in all, it was a really fun night, and I'm glad we went. The weather was perfect, the animals were great, and it was a fun night out as a family. Which doesn't happen often enough.
