Incase you don't know me I LOVE the zoo. I have some obsession with it and love to go as often as possible. The Hogle Zoo hosts Wild Wednesdays on the last Wednesday of the month in December, January, and February everyone who comes to the zoo gets in for free!!! The zoo and free, 2 of my favorite things Yipee!!! I didn't know about this until this year and only made it on February 23- what a wonderful visit to the Zoo.
Here is a recap of how things went. I really wanted to go with someone and my wonderful friend Stacy (who is 8 months pregnant and has 2 kids) said she would go with me at 9:15am, I wanted to leave around 9:30. Well Alana decided that she was hungry about 9:25 so I let Stacy know she still had about 30 minutes to get ready. I get over there and we proceed to put the needed carseats in and it taked forever -30 mins- since the seatbelt part had been pulled out too far and we couldn't get it to buckle. While this is going on Ryker and Stacys son are in the front using all the switches and runs down the battery. I know you are thinking in 30 minutes that's too fast to run a battery down. If you want to run down the battery in your car in 30minutes here is what was on- heater, lights, fog lights, hazzard lights, radio, windsheid wipers, door lights, gps unit, ceiling lights. So after we found a wonderful neighbor to jump our car we were on the road- yeah!
We had a great time the weather was awesome! It was a little cold outside so we ate lunch in the Gorilla house. There were a lot of people and I wondered to myself if the zoo was inside the gates or outside.
Ryker playing at the playland and a Howler monkey who likes his picture taken. The Gorilla who came to see what Ryker looked like.
This is an amazing Elephant sculpture that makes sounds and blows water out its trunk also Ryker showing his sharp teeth. Rounding out the pics are the kids on some neat animal statues.
