A Car Full of Monkeys . . . and a Trip to the Zoo

The Princess and the Prince did not have the same spring break this year (thank goodness they will next year!!) and I took the week of during the Princess' spring break. We got together with some friends one of the days and took a trip to the zoo. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we took a picnic lunch and sat out in a big field and ate sandwiches.
Here's the four monkeys in the car on the way to the zoo . . .

Checking out the meerkats through the popup viewing area.

The monkeys were very active and loud while we were there.I was excited to see the anteaters - they are such interesting creatures. They eat about 30,000 bugs a day!! They can kill with their front claws.A beautiful blue bird - there were 3 of them and 2 of them were fighting.

These birds were in an enclosure where you could go in and feed them nectar from little cups. The girls loved it! It was not my favorite as the birds are used to people and several of them flew a little too close for comfort for me.Four good friends spent a wonderful and exhausting day together!
