The little girl who lives next door to us had a birthday last week and invited Joshua (and us) to her celebrate with her at the zoo on Saturday. Joshua was beyond thrilled to be a part of her birthday and be able to visit the zoo too! The party started off with decorating safari hats with birthday stickers and then we moved over to the barn by the petting zoo to meet a Bantam Chicken, a Ferret and a turtle up close and the kids got to pet them too. Then we had cake and ice cream and watched the birthday girl open her gifts. The last exciting part of the birthday party was going behind the scenes and seeing what they do in the zoo kitchen. We saw the big freezer and refrigerator in which they keep the animals food. The zoo keeper shared lots of interesting tidbits and even showed us some of the "treats" the animals get - like the lions get a rat frozen in a huge chunk of ice on hot days! The kids even got make the food they had to feed the monkeys the next morning. I failed to take pictures in the zoo kitchen as it was a very cramped space. We roamed the rest of the zoo after the party was over and thanks to some coupons from a neighbor friend we got to touch the stingrays and sharks for free too! Just another fun day for a lucky little boy! Video of our day is below.
