Here's a lion looking straight at my son eye to eye.
For example, on the Africa trek there are now two native houses to stop and explore. I thought that was fun! Of course, I like that kind of thing.
Australia now has an Outback...place to explore. Nice "homeschooling" break with coral, shells, bugs, sheep wool, and other things nicely displayed. See below.
KC Zoo is good to the animals by allowing lots of space, but it can be disappointing to the visitors who walk, and walk, and walk, in the hot sun just to get to another exhibit where the animal is intelligent enough to be in a "cave" way at the back of the exhibit. On Tuesday we had overcast skies and I actually got to see the cheetahs! The zoo was empty and the animals were out, yahoo! My youngest loved the meerkats. Meerkats? You can never tell what will strike a child's fancy.
Our eldest took this family picture near the entrance.
As we just getting on the highway the first raindrops started to fall. Luckily we were there for 5 hours and no rain on us.
cool pics! I've (not on the computer so I can't share) of my now 8 year old when he was 1 and at the zoo. We were at the tiger's area and the tiger was laying up against the glass wall and my son hand was "touching" the tiger's paw. Anyway it's cool, but scary, when they are near the glass like that.

ReplyDeleteYes, we had a little bit of Australia in the Land of Oz. Kind of surreal, but neat anyway.
