Zoo - Liberty Park

July 1st my mom and sister went with us to the zoo. We got there quite early before it got too hot.

I usually only make this trip once a year and this year was by far the best. Joshua and Rachael had so much fun. The dinosaurs scared Rachael a little bit and the large T-rex was a bit too loud for Josh, he constantly had his ears covered. 

During the bird show the owl ( top right) took flight right over our heads and touched the top of Rachael's head. She couldn't believe it and her reaction was hilarious as she was so worried what it had done to her. We couldn't stop laughing.

The train ride was the last thing we did that day, at that point it was starting to really get hot and a bit too uncomfortable for the kids. So we left the zoo and had a delightful lunch at liberty park. It was beautiful there. 

I could not believe how friendly all the birds and ducks were, a little too friendly if you ask me. They were getting a bit too close for comfort but the kids had fun feeding them and then chasing them away. We had a lot of fun relaxing there while eating and watching the kids play.
