I found out on Sunday that places actually open for business before 10 AM. I couldn't believe it myself but Ger, Kent, Kristen, Smith and I were AT the Palm Beach Zoo at 9:25 AM this Sunday morning. IT WAS WONDERFUL once I got my bones out of bed and moving in a direction.
Kent and Family came up for the weekend and we had a wonderful time. At least Smith and I did! The weather was cool so we didn't go in the back yard pool but we did go for a swim down the block at our community pool on Sunday afternoon, after Smith's nap. WE tired out the little man walking around the zoo for 3 hours in the morning and it was great fun. When we got there the zoo had just been open for 25 minutes so the place was EMPTY ! The animals were active and it was great to walk through with a 15 month old. Smith walked on his own most of the way with a few interludes in the stroller. We got to see the BIG black bear right in front of us. The bear was moving around checking out the pieces of pumpkin that were there for him to nibble on but he really didn't seem very interested. The otters had a small pumpkin floating in their pool but they were too busy grooming each other and the raccoon was having a feast eating all the pumpkin he had. I guess Halloween is over at the zoo.
We stopped for an early lunch at the snack bar and Smith devoured 3 chicken fingers and half his dads french fries. I guess all the walking gave him a good appetite. Our last stop before leaving the zoo was a visit to Mr. & Mrs. Tiger and their 3 little cubs who are not so little any more. The cubs were born in the spring, much to the delight of all us zoo goers, and they are growing so fast.
All in all it was a great day and as soon as I get my camera working I'll add some pictures.
