jaguars and orangutans and a scavenger hunt, oh my!

Yesterday, Hubby took the day off and we all headed to the zoo.






We weren't there as long as we sometimes are - Kiddo was on a mission (although I'm not sure what it was) and kept us moving through the zoo at a pretty brisk pace.  But we did get to see some pretty cool stuff.  Like a baby giraffe, baby otter and baby orangutan.  My favorite part of yesterday was the orangutan family.  They were so entertaining! 


Momma was busy with baby, and Daddy was pouting under his blanket, ha!



One of the reasons we went (other than to enjoy a beautiful day at the zoo as a family) was to work on our Clickin Moms photo scavenger hunt list.  Here we're crossing off "alligator." 


We've been busy this month taking pictures of random things like a purple house, stalactite, light saber and a Target 18-wheeler.

One of the other items we checked off yesterday? 


"duckling."

Kiddo loved all of the ducks and ducklings we saw around the zoo.  We spent the longest amount of time at the duck pond (an astounding surprise, I know).



That boy.  Hubby and I were talking last night about how much he loved the ducks.  Hubby commented that maybe we should look into getting some ducks so that Kiddo could have some of his own.  And then I googled "pet ducks" and read about the poop and the mess and the exotic vet bills.  Maybe we'll just go back to the zoo...

I haven't even looked at that list. Maybe next year.

Love that you're getting kiddo involved with helping, see, that's why he pushed you through the zoo so quickly!

Awesome pictures! Love the orangutans. :)

I've had pet ducks. They're a little higher maintenance than chickens, since to be truly happy most ducks would prefer access to water. And they are messy, just like chickens. But the best part about ducks is that they will roam your garden, eating pests, and leave your plants alone!

I love the zoo, too! Possibly more than my boys?!?! Great photos, as ALWAYS!
