Zoo

We escaped the snow and made it down to Flordia for awhile. Today we stopped at a zoo in Tampa before heading to Sanibel on Saturday. 

There is no substitute for seeing animals in the wild, but the kids are a bit too young to really appreciate a true safari right now (let alone survive a long flight or two). 

So we got up close and personal with these animals instead. 

Molly was happy to feed the giraffes but Wes wasn't as excited about it. 

We also took a "Safari" ride around part of the zoo. Someone can't help making faces. 

After lunch Molly was all about strategizing our plan of attack. She was a woman on a mission. 

Part of the plan was to see the lorikeets. 

They're extremely beautiful birds. 

That are also quite friendly. 

And not camera shy at all. 

Our hotel is only about 10 mins away from the zoo. Thankfully it took the kids only about 3 mins to fall asleep.
