Member's Night

Last Thursday was member's night at the zoo. We didn't have much time, but we still had a blast. The whole zoo was open at night just for the members which was great because its been to hot to go during the day. They also had all the rides half off and lots of animal demonstrations. The boys got their faces painted again and once again had tigers done. We got to feed the giraffes of course, but the best part was watching them run around the yard, something we had never seen before. We also got to see the lions who were quite active. One lion came right up to the glass where Carter was and growled at him. Carter then decided he didn't like the lions anymore. Tyler convinced him to like the daddy lions, just not the mommy ones. We also got to see the newly expanded mountain lion exhibit, which now can be seen from where the wolves are. So we got to watch the wolves and the mountain lions stare each other down. One of the zoo keepers told us that they will growl at each other throughout the day and the wolves have been much more active since they expanded it. By the time we got to the hippos and the chimps most of them were falling asleep., but the boys didn't seem to mind to much. Always a great time at the zoo!
