Zoo Take Two

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.

 

         

       

 

 

   

       

     

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Edinburgh Zoo Visit One

For my birthday, my wonderful sisters got me a pass to the Edinburgh Zoo, which is incredible! You guys know how much I like the zoo, and zoos in general, I have now had multiple posts about it and I am pretty sure not a year goes by without me going. So you would think that I would have less photos, but I possibly have more! So get excited we are going to the zoo again!

It turned out to be an excellent day to go out for a big giant walk, the weather was amazing, in the sun it could actually be warm and so it was basically perfect. Dixon hadn't been to the zoo for at least ten year, me its been only a few months. But it was really great, apparently now that I am a member I can go into the members building, I didn't, cause I wasn't sure I was allowed, I know silly. But that is something to look forward to next time. Also the membership allows me to go the a few international zoos and the Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland, so I am hoping that when Dixon gets his license we will go to some of them!

It was brilliant we got to see the Sun Bears play fighting with each other, the pelicans looked amazing and they were so much bigger than I thought they would be, the otters were playing, the penguins were being fed. So it was fun because it was a little bit different again. So enjoy the photos!
