Zoo and Camping

We joined the zoo the other weekend and we had a great time. If you have never been to the Birmingham Zoo or have not been in awhile, we strongly recommend a visit. It is a great size for children, with many varieties of animals and a little water area for those scorcher days. We didn't stay much more than an hour and we saw so many birds and primates. Everyone really had a great time!

The Lorikeet exhibit was the best. You can purchase a cup of nectar for the birds and they will swoop down and land on your arm and gulp up the nectar. Auntie Kariann was a little freaked out, check out the photo album for more zoo pictures. Sydney loved it and wanted to "pet" the birds. That would have been interesting! =P My friend Amy has been telling me how much Eamon loves the Babe at the Zoo class they have, so we finally went this week and we had so much fun. Sydney petted a rooster (Colonel Sanders) and two snakes, a milk snake and a corn snake. We saw the goats, the rhino, and hippo. Come join us for a class sometime or find one that suits your childs age http://www.birminghamzoo.com/programs-classes.asp


Sydney's first camping trip with our Young Families group from church was so much fun. She loved being outdoors and had a great time on our hike while riding on Daddy's back. She fell asleep probably 5 minutes after this picture and did not wake up until we were almost back at camp. We had 6 children, 8 adults, and 2 dogs. We are almost outnumbered!
