Zoo Atlanta

Ben took the day off work on Thursday and we went to the zoo as a family (plus my nephew).  I had never been, and Ben couldn't remember the last time he went.  They had some pretty cool exhibits, and some pretty ok ones.  My favorite exhibits were:

The Parakeet Aviary


This was one of those "walk-in" exhibits, where you can get up close and personal with the birds.  We bought a "seed stick" to feed to the birds, and we had a great time milling about and being surrounded by birds.  Lydia was especially fascinated with these little fluttering creatures.

The Tiger Exhibit


This was SUPER cool because the tiger came down and actually licked the glass we were standing behind.  Apparently this mama tiger had cubs a couple of months ago but we didn't get to see them.

The Petting Zoo


A petting zoo complete with ... goats. And ... more goats. That's it.

Other fun pictures, including:

• A lounging Panda
• Scott reading the map--that was his official job all day.
• Lydia and the crocodile
• Riding the train
