Labor Day, September 4: No school for the kiddos. No work for me! A few of us decided to brave the crowds and wander around the zoo for a little while since it was a cool weather day, slight chance of rain--but who cares?
We rode the Funicular up up up to the tippy top to do a little exploring ...
Matthew had never ridden this before, so it was nice to be able to do this with him today.
We sought out the RED PANDA !! Wyatt was NOT very active, once again ... but at least we saw him!
Kaity-Jane was not overly impressed ...
Mr. Tiger paid us a quick visit ...
He just kind of meandered on by 2x ... but he did not stick around for photos ...
Today was the VERY LAST DAY of the Realm of Flight Bird Show! Oh my goodness--I would have been sad to have missed this!
These beautiful birds spent the summer at John Ball Zoo. They winter in Arizona in a bird sanctuary.
This wonderful girl is telling us all about birds of prey and endangered birds. She did such a nice job.
We watched a red-tailed hawk, a raven, a barn owl, a small and very odd flamingo, and then the bald eagle ...
We had FRONT ROW SEATS! YAY!!! I will say, however, that it was sprinkling a very fine rain all during the show. Good thing the rain did not bother the birds (or us!) one single bit.
This eagle is LOUIS. Beautiful, majestic, a wonderful creation.
At the end of the show, if people wanted to donate $$ to the bird sanctuary, this raven would actually take paper money right out of your hands and deposit it into the glass jar on the table! Pretty cute.
The kiddos got to have a photo shoot with Louis ...
Thank you, Lord, for these few hours at the zoo. Thank you for being such an AWESOME Creator.
