Day at the Zoo

We are fortunate to live so close to the Buffalo Zoo. When the kids are here visiting us and it's a nice day it is so easy to just grab a stroller and walk down the street for a visit to the animals. It helps that we are members too. Becky and I often stop in and walk around the zoo for a short while when we are going for walks in the neighborhood or over to the park.

This morning we walked over to the zoo with the three kids and had a wonderful time. There were a lot of people visiting the zoo today but not too crowded. The kids really enjoyed themselves.

The Zoomagination Festival of Lights is currently going on at the zoo. We were there during the day so the kids did see the exhibits and displays but of course they were not lit up. They did get excited about the creatures and many exotic plants in the illuminated statue displays. They are coming back in August and hopefully at that time we can get them over there after dark for the actual festival of lights. In the meantime Becky and I will get over there some night to check it out. The photos I've seen of the displays are amazing.
