zoo trip

On Sunday we went to zoo.  We wanted to do something fun when aunt Michele was here.  Our choices are limited with Bennett.  We can still go to the zoo though.  It is one of our favorite things to do.  We went to Southwick's Zoo because it has the largest selection of animals.  It was an old farm that turned zoo so it's very spread out but has a lot of trees and vegetation between the cages.  We love coming here.  It was a very hot day but we found nice shade under the trees and spent a couple of hours there walking around and learning all kinds of fun facts about giraffes, monkeys, elephants and so on.

There were also many babies at the zoo.  A reminder that spring was just here.  The cutest one of all was the baby hedgehog.  I have never seen one until now.

They have a huge fenced in field in the middle of the zoo where lots of deer live.  They are not afraid of people and enjoy being fed by them so of course we had to partake.  

At the end of the day we were exhausted.  On our way out we saw a white peacock.  I have never seen one at any other zoo so it was a special treat.
