Spring break adventure...a day at the zoo

The kids are off for spring break, so our big adventure for the week was to the zoo with Savannah's friend and her  mom.  We had a great time, and our favorite part of the day was feeding the beautiful lorikeets.  Everyone had birds land on their heads and sit on their shoulder/arms to drink nectar from little cups.  The birds get a little excited (understatement!!) and bit both kids, but the fun of feeding them outweighed the nips. We were also excited to see five lion cubs!  A little bummed out that the zoo was out of food for the flamingos (Gage was excited to try and feed them this time as he chickened out last time), but that will give us something to look forward to next time.
