Alligators, Peacocks and Bears....OH MY!

We eventually did make it to the zoo yesterday! It was fun, but a VERY short visit. Traffic was terrible, so it took us over an hour to get there! (usually a half hour or less!) We did get to walk around the swamp for a bit, and got to see animals that live in the wetlands.

 We also got to see the new bear exhibit. It was REALLY neat. We went to see it the weekend it opened and you couldn't even walk around. Alyssa and Casten did a great job navigating us through the zoo. Alyssa really did an amazing job. She didn't get turned around at all while looking at the map. She got really excited to find things we were walking past on the map! I would say the geography lesson was a success :)

A VERY neat thing we saw though was a mommy peacock walking around with her babies! We thought that was really neat!
