A Visit to the Zoo

Yesterday, The♥Hubster, Bug, Ducky, & I went to the (most) local zoo. "Uncle Lion" & his fiancée also came along. We had a great time -- even Ducky, who was too little to really enjoy seeing the animals, liked riding in the stroller. The unfortunate part was that many of the exhibits were closed due to it being so early in the season (chilly). We got a coupon for 50% off if we come back again before June, so we'll likely take advantage of that since it's an easy drive & 3+ hours of entertainment for less than $40 :D

 Pretty as a Peacock... oh, wait...

 *~ Le Yawn~* It is soooo tough being a zoo-lebrity, no?

 Great Horned Owl (there were also Barred Owls)

 Amur Leopard

 American Alligators soaking up every ray of sun they can in this chilly weather!

 Path through the "Wetlands" exhibit

 Cassowary -- one of my favorite critters!

Just before Baby Monkey started nursing... so sweet! I could've watched him all day!

Well, Lent is not quite over yet (as of tomorrow, there's 2 weeks left), but I'm counting my 30 days without caffeine as complete.  Of course, since I gave it up for Lent, I still won't be partaking, but I've been falling behind on my 101 in 1001 challenge, so I'm eager to mark another item off!

In other news, i've been running on the treadmill every Thursday at the gym -- while i know it's not anywhere near the same as running outside, it's a start! I look forward to this summer break when i can start running more frequently :)

I've committed myself to another few knitting projects, ones that aren't on my 101 in 1001 list, so i'm going to try to knock those out quickly & get back on track... I'm hoping my monthly updates here will keep that goal fresh in mind!
