A Day at the Zoo

We had a wonderful day at the zoo today. It was nice to just walk over there with the kids in the afternoon and spend a few hours there. We had loads of fun and enjoyed watching the kids have a great time. Of course they rode the train too. 

Actually Katie, Todd and the kids spent about an hour there longer than we did as Becky and I left after a couple of hours and walked home ourselves. The kids had more to see.

One of the highlights of the day at the zoo was attending the bird show which was very entertaining and educational as the birds flew over our heads while we sat there watching the show. The kids loved it.

This was our first time there at the zoo since the start of the pandemic. For the last couple of years the zoo required advanced scheduled ticket purchases to get into the zoo. Things are finally back to normal there although masks are available for people to use in the buildings. We did put our masks on for the inside displays. 

The Buffalo Zooimagination was still installed and the kids got to see all of those spectacular displays although of course we were there in the day and the displays were not lit up like they would be the weekend evening events. It was still a lot of extra fun for the kids.

Becky and I purchased our membership tickets for the year and we are looking forward to wandering into the zoo during some of our daily walks. Well, at least the ones in the afternoon. We always liked going there during the winter months and visiting the tropical rain forest building.
