I was lucky enough to be invited to the zoo for congressional day. Having no idea what was in store for us, we headed out on an overcast day complete with raincoats, umbrellas and even water shoes just in case! We arrived to find that part of the zoo was closed off and we were allowed access. There were demonstrations, cotton candy, brownies, popcorn.....HEAVEN for too little children. We came up to the first station - brownies! Heather helped herself. Trevor passed and sulked - he wanted Dibs. Dibs. Dibs. I explained he wasn't getting dibs. We walked up to the next station. Soda! I asked if he wanted a tiny bit because that's one of his special treats. Nope. Dibs. Dibs. Dibs. I then said well I guess you will be miserable then. I looked up and spotted something special. Trevor.....I said - LOOK. Trevor looks and starts sprinting! COTTTTTTONCANNNNNDDDDYYYY. Thus the picture below explains the outcome.
Even in the opened sections of the zoo it was completely empty due to the showers here and there - the kids were ecstatic to have the zoo to themselves!
They got to meet Chomper the Beaver who is nocturnal but was lured out with treats.
Free carousel rides!
Of course Heather picks the naked mole rat of all the animals to ride.
We got to watch the otters get goldfish out of the water bottle. Trevor enjoyed this part until they started eating them.
