The "New" Zoo

Today, we went to the "new" zoo. Remember when that is how we all referred to it? The New Zoo. Well, it's almost 30 years old, hardly new anymore.
But we went and had a great time. It was our first trip somewhere like this without the stroller and it went well. Louie RAN from exhibit to exhibit.
It was ABC day there, there was a little band playing and Emily was the only kid that actually followed directions and stood on the blue line with her maracas.
The Seahorse
The touching pool in Discovery Bay. Emily and Louie were looking for Mr. Ray.

Isn't this the funniest looking fish? it has a nose and it looks like it's got a face.
Lou was looking at all the fish in the coral reef.


Over in Discovery Bay, the shark reef. Here's Brucie! We're having fish for dinner tonight!
Then Dippin' Dots.

Ice cream headaches!

We told Louie that we were going to ride the train (the Monorail). Went up, bought out tickets and waited. Then, they announced that the train was broken. Louie was sooo sad. We went and watched the dolphins, watched the sting rays and then it was time for another train. So, we bundled up and went on the Monorail, it was lovely.

We liked the zoo so much that we ended up becoming members out there. I know that passes can be checked out of the library, but that requires planning ahead . . . so now we can go whenever we want. Both kids loved it there, I think we'll be going back soon! And can't wait for spring and the farm babies exhibit.
