Zoo

I never would have guessed that this past week would be in the 80's...it is October. I am thankful for the nice weather and hope that it will last a few more weeks :) Seeing as it was such a beautiful weekend Dan and I sent to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo with a couple of his friends from College.

They had pumpkins sitting all around and there were quite a few people there. The last day for the Zoo this season was Oct 9th but they have a couple weekends they open later this month for a kind of Halloween themed days. The Zoo was laid out well and had some great exhibits. One of them being Australia were we got to see Kangaroos up close. I also saw my first Black Swan!

They also had an Africa exhibit were you could feed giraffes and walk through a self guided safari. We also journeyed into the Rain forest of Indonesia (which I thought was funny because Indonesia has lots of islands with different habitats). They had some really cool animals I hadn't seen before...even an Orangutan, they are huge! Sadly a lot of the animals were too elusive for me to get good pictures. We finished up our tour with a replica of an Indiana Farm...which made me smile

 Of course we couldn't leave with out getting a drink of water :) We had a really fun time and I loved getting to wear my shorts one last time. Plus with it being 80 in the fall it is warm but not the unbearable hot that people don't like being outside for.

I don't think you ever get too old for the Zoo :) And we had a really great time with Pov (pronounced Paul) and Megan!
