Night Time Zoo

Recently I took the kids to the night time zoo as we had a few hours to spare and Caleb has been asking to go. When I told him we were going he was so excited he couldn't contain himself. As soon as we got there he immediately started talking about all the animals we were going to see and started naming facts about them. Overwhelmed with the endless options and paths to choose from we decided to go to the right where the koalas were since we didn't get to see them the last time we were there. We stopped off at some birds and Caleb excitedly started shouting out names of birds he recognized and reading the facts about each and every one. We ventured towards the koalas and heard them snorting around which made us laugh and then headed to the rhinos, giraffes, and wart hogs. Caleb ran off by himself to read up on each and every animal and study them a bit closer.

We saw bears, pandas, monkeys, kangaroos, hippos, birds, koalas, giraffes, rhinos, wart hogs, flamingos, and reptiles. Caleb even made friends with a quail looking bird and they were talking back and forth to eachother. It was very cute. He has a passion for birds and I'm pretty sure the quail bird knew that because he was chirping up a storm with Caleb.

Towards the end I let Caleb read up on some books in the gift shop until the night time parade started. He loves researching facts about animals. The parade was amazing and Caleb got to sit right in front where the people and animals came up to him. We were so excited and so happy. Caleb didn't want to leave but the zoo was closing. He was disappointed that he didn't get to see the bugs in the bug house because it was closed but there is always next time! Overall, it was a great and memorable night at the zoo!
