My Favorite Part of the Zoo... : )..

Survived the zoo on Monday..

Made it even though we

walked around almost the entire

park.  Missed seeing the Tigers and the

Tree Kangaroo areas, but

we ended up getting to see a lot of other

great exhibits instead.

A lot of the animals were taking a breather

and just laying around not doing much..

But then!  There was this great treat!

Stingray Bay!

We got to pet the Stingrays..

I know that a lot of the zoos and

aquariums have this activity now and I'm glad

that the KC Zoo does too.

I realized after petting a few of them,

the longer you leave your hand in the water,

the more stingrays come to greet you.

I think I had about 5-7 lined up in a row just waiting

to cruise by and be pet.

They feel a lot different than what I expected.

Some had hard bodies and some were

super soft and squishy towards their little wings.

 : )..  Lol.

 I absolutely loved it!

And I highly recommend it if y'all ever get the

chance - don't pass it up!!

These little creatures are super duper friendly and sweet!

Check out this great video!



Back.. Again..

Never seem to make it back here very often these days.

Getting ready to enjoy a trip to the Kansas City Zoo tomorrow.

Started looking at some of the animals there

and found some curious ones..

Of course, our favorite is Nakita the Polar Bear..

But there are some cute animals that I

don't remember seeing before..

This one is a Tree Kangaroo..

And this is a "Black-Foot Cat"...

Kinda looks like...

A normal cat?

Definitely not something you

would expect to see at the Zoo..

Right?

This should be fun minus all of the walking..

Our zoo is spread out over a large area

and although I've walked the entire zoo before,

I'm not as excited as I once was.  Lol.

There are some animals that I'm like..

Yup.  Seen 'em!

Don't reallllly need to see them again.

I'll hang back with the slower people and take our

time moseying around the front to middle

zoo area..   : )..

Besides!  Most of my favorites are closer

to the front!  Toss in my penguins

that are right next to the Polar Bears and

I'm good!

Spread out for sure!!

And that little spot in between the two big pictures?

It's got a good sized concrete bridge that is over what has

to be about a 50' gulley.  It freaks me out to walk across it..

I am NOT a fan of heights!  ACK!!!

And that swinging bridge? 

I'm ok if I'm on it by myself.

Which is hardly ever..

Yikes!!!

I think I will skip that area.

Been there and done that several times!

I'm good skipping the Gorillas!

: )..

Alrighty..

Catch ya later..

Gotta make some Rotel,

Taquitos and Pizza Rolls for our

Kansas City Chiefs party at work today!

Go Chiefs!!
