The Atlanta Zoo had a special deal on Mother's Day that moms get in free, so we went! Flamingos greeted us just through the entrance.
We talked about their coloring and how they get it from the shrimp they eat. The kids thought that was pretty cool.
We found a thicket of bamboo that the kids loved.
These are the faces that meerkats make. Promise.
Giraffes need bunny ears.
Giraffes also have long tongues.
We all agreed the gorillas were fun to watch and laughed as one of the babies ran off inside a burlap sack before his momma chased him down.
Roar!
Bunny ears were the theme for the week day.
Chloe liked sitting in Willy B's lap.
I don't think any of us had ever seen a red panda before. This one was sound asleep on top of his home.
Who doesn't like happy goats?
It was too hot for the kangaroos. They were all laying down snoozing. Aren't ther dark feet neat on the red kangaroo?
We found a playground near the end of our walk through the zoo and Bean had so much fun on a four-kid teeter totter.
And Owen had fun playing by himself.
This was a great start to Mother's Day!
