Zoo Scavenger Hunt

I found a really great Scavenger hunt through the Oakland Zoo website!

They have several to choose from and they are very educational.

One of the clues is “A bird with feathers that can’t fly”.

The boys had a lot of fun and we all learned a lot!

I am really glad I have an iphone and therefore Siri!

I might have looked up several that I was drawing a blank on…

They got to pick out one special treat for finishing their papers.

They chose cotton candy, I sampled some to make sure it was okay…

So cute!

Nick, I think I want a Jaguar cub…

All we need is a big cage, right?

This little guy made me laugh.

My son was looking at the zoo guide we have before we got there and saw a bunny.

He said he really wanted to see a bunny at the zoo but I told him I did not think they had them.

On our way out of the zoo this little guy was hanging out by the entrance.

He of course was more excited about the rabbit than any of the other animals we saw.

We keep having little visitors showing up at our house.

Since they are cute and do not require me to be a good hostess I guess I will allow it.

If they start eating my garden though…

I had to keep telling my oldest to put down the stick!

I really hope he was not actually planning on using it.

I am surprised this little guy hung out with us for so long.

You would think someone creeping up on you with a big stick might give you the impression you were not wanted…

As I stepped out our front door the other evening, I was in awe with the beautiful light.

Then I saw a little bird fly off.

I decided to sit down and wait to see if I could get some shots of birds.

There is something very restful about waiting and watching as the light slowly fades away.

I used to spend a lot of my evenings as a teenager watching the sunset.

I would sit on a little hill by the road and watch the sun disappear over my neighbors pond.

I wonder if that is why it has such an effect on me.

It is like I take a big breath when I get to see one and feel I have ended my day right.
