How many children went to the zoo?

I met Lori, Maura and Kieran at the Beardsley zoo this morning. Ok, the first time we saw this sign, we giggled...after that, no so much. The 3 three month old tiger cubs were adorable but then again their mom is a very beautiful Tiger. Those photos aren't all that great but I did get a couple. It helps to have a memory card in the camera when the built in memory is full...duh. At least I had it with me...geek that I am, I had all my toys and gadgets in my purse. We probably should have sent a memo out announcing our shirt color for the day considering all the camp/school/recreation dept groups of kids that were there. Yellow shirts, red shirts, maroon shirts, light blue shirts, green shirts, blue shirts & 2 sets of purple shirts. None of them could beat Kieran's shirt though, he had on his animal shirts with Lions and giraffes..too cute. I have to say most of the kids were well behaved in these groups. Can't say I was impressed by the woman who leaped in front of me to take a picture of the tiger cubs WHILE I was photographing them though but she was much taller than me. Anyway, the turkeys and peacocks roaming around were entertaining...one peacock was particularly proud of himself and his plumage. Actually most of the animals were on their best behavior..the bear walked around close up then sat in his pool playing...the piggies were HUUUUUUGE. Fortunately, We got to the carousel right before the maroon, light blue and green groups so Kieran scored his Zebra and Maura rode a beautiful horse with a tourquoise saddle. .

BTW, my new windshield wiper held up well..oh yeah of course it rained and thundered and lighteninged on the way to the zoo but it was done by the time we met up there. Kieran found all the leftover puddles and Maura helped disperse the water from them though...snort...and I must thank Kieran also for wiping the wet off the benches for me with his backside.

I'm not sure just who likes the zoo the most but I had a good time.

Tomorrow it's The Thimble Islands with my old roomie. Nighty night.
