We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

This past Saturday looked we didn't have any plans so we decided to head to the Norfolk Zoo. I went once last summer with Evie but wanted to go back again with Nathan, especially now that Evie is older. The Norfolk Zoo isn't huge - very manageable in 3-4 hours which is about as long as a toddler, newborn, and their parents will last in the heat and humidity. :) While not too huge, it is quite beautiful and well maintained...
...and has a pretty wide selection of the classic zoo animals.
Evie's favorite part may have been the zoo train... :p
...although she found all the animals pretty fascinating as well (much more so than her little siser :)).
The tortoise was very intriguing (definitely bigger than all the turtles we spot around here!)
The statues that you could climb on were pretty neat too. :)
We got there in time to watch the kangaroos get their breakfast. Watching them hop around and get excited about their salad breakfast was really fun. Evie wanted a closer look, but we stopped her.
"Well now you're awfully small..."
The very cool birds guarding their nest.
The bears were super active and so fun to watch!
I realize that I didn't get a picture of the elephants, zebras, lions, snakes (obviously) monkeys, etc, but we'll just have to go back again sometime. :)
