Spring Break Day 2!

Today's spring break spruce-up room was the living room.  We dusted, moved everything to vacuum, washed the furniture, cleaned the ceiling fan blades, cleaned baseboards and windowsills, and washed down the walls.  Yay for one room down!
Then it was time for the Fort Worth Zoo!  We planned the trip for today knowing that tomorrow is half-price day and I thought it would be less busy.  WRONG!  There were three million people there!  We parked more than a half mile from the entrance!  But gratefully, the people were pleasant and nobody annoyed me overly much!  :-)  It was a gorgeous day again, with enough cloud cover to keep us cool and comfy!

Sea Otter swimming by while Kendra sat in the "bubble".  Cool!

The "touch tank".  Kendra loved the starfish.



At the petting area there was the opportunity to pet a sleeping armadillo!  Kendra said he was soft.

I battled the bees for this Kona shaved ice...it was worth it!
With the beautiful weather I was expecting that the animals would be lively and active, but we arrived just in time for nap time!  All the big animals were snoozing away---funny enough, almost all of them were laying on their backs, too!  We did see two funny things---a trio of lemurs who were clearly putting on a show (they kept looking to see if the crowd was watching) and as we were leaving a ginormous orangutan turned his back to the crowd and yep, you guessed it.  Bent right over and gave everyone a very large view of a full moon!  Bwaaahhh!
