So as usual it has been ages since I last posted, and it is going to be a running theme for this year I hope that what gets me posting again is going to the zoo. As I said before, I have a years membership to the zoo, courtesy of my lovely sisters, and I have now used it for a second time. Hayley and I went today particularly because of the baby penguins that are hatching at the moment, so we didn't want to miss them. The weather was not looking good at all this morning but seeing as I had my pass, we didn't want to cancel, the penguins won't stay wee forever. So we thought it would be worth it even if it did thunder and lightning as predicted as long as we say the main animals we both wanted to see. And as you will see the weather did vary today, we had almost everything except thunder and lightning. It went from warm and sunny to hailing and raining and back to sunny multiple times, but we lucked out and were under shelter for the most part when things went bad.
Something I nearly forgot about was the Dinosaurs exhibit they put in at the top of the hill, we didn't think we would make it all the way up there but when we did we were surprised to see how good the exhibit was, I didn't expect them to move so much and make noises as well. It was a lot of fun to go through, and made me think of the Royal Tyrrell Museum back in Drumheller, but with a bit more whimsy. There was even a dinosaur there called Edmontonia which was discover in Edmonton, funnily enough, but really made me think of Canada, which was a lot of fun.
So all in all another successful day at the zoo, and now for the photos, I expertly whittled them down from 92 so you wouldn't be scrolling forever.
