At the Zoo


Saturday was Taydom's birthday. It was such a nice day we packed up the kids and went to the Zoo. It was 65 degrees, we did not even take a coat. Soon after we moved back to Denver we bought a year pass to the Zoo. Knowing that money would be tight we thought a zoo menbership would be a good way to entertain the kids for a year cheep.

We found something new this time. A large bird cadge were we could walk in and feed the birds. The kids LOVED it. We bought a small cup of the bird nectar the zoo sold. At first the kids were a little scared to get too close but once they saw other kids doing it they were ready to try.

Taydom loved to watch the birds tounges move up and down to get the nectare ou of the little cups and Vilate made sure that each bird had a little. She said she did not want any of then to be hungey.

That is a good idea. I wish we had a good zoo close to us. I know SLC is only a little bit away but too far to visit too often. The birds look really fun.
Happy Birthday Taydom!

That looks like fun. I have taken the kids to the Zoo in SLC the last two summers and they seem to have liked it. I would love to take them to another one that would have something like that (feeding the birds). Happy Birthday Taydom!
