lions & tigers & lorekeets?!?

Oh My! The Bowers/Asmus girls hit the zoo today. (Have I mentioned how much we love this place?) This time it was just us sisters and the Bug. Syd had a grand time, and hardly had to walk anywhere. She fed Chrissy, the giraffe, and the goats. She also just loves the statues around the place, since she got to crawl all over them. In the aquarium, she ran from tank to tank and pointed out every "shish" or said "wow!" when she didn't know what it was. She especially liked the owl at the bird show. Sydney liked the Lorekeets until one landed on her head. One of the Lorekeets that landed on me loved my camera and didn't care about the treat I had in my hand.
We got a suprise just as we were leaving. The wallaby exhibit wasn't going to open until this Saturday. Of course we didn't know that until we actually got there! Well as we were walking past the wallabies, a group of Zoo directors were being shown how the exhibit was supposed to work (it's a walk-through where you can go inside and walk around with the animals, so cool!). One of the Staff saw us and asked if we wanted to try it out. Of course we did!!! Sydney was beside herself and wanted to run right up to them. Unfortunately we had to stay on the little trail and couldn't let her go over to them. But we got some cool pictures of them.
(P.S. More pics on facebook!)
