Lisa’s Aunt Janet and Uncle Bill came into town and we all went to all kinds of great places to have fun and eat.
The high light was probably when we went to Metro Zoo. Brenda saw so many of her favorite animals there. We all had a great time . I took a lot of pictures. I hope you enjoy them all. You can see how many your child recognizes.
Brenda In A Tiger Mask On The Way To Metro Zoo
Brenda tried on some masks on the way to the Zoo. I found them at Target for a dollar a piece so I bought four. We got a lion, elephant, monkey and tiger. I hope to use them for lessons and stories with Brenda soon.
At The Zoo
The zoo has a pretty pond at the entrance with a lot of birds and gold fish. The pond has flamingos, but the pictures I took of them didn’t come out that good. Here is Brenda with her Aunt Janet in front of the flamingos.

Wings Of Asia
One really neat part of Metro Zoo is their aviary called the Wings of Asia. Here are pictures of just a few of the many birds we saw.
These two look like they are posing for an Asian painting.
I am not certain but I think this is a boy and a girl bird of the same species.
Brenda In A Nest
Brenda flapped her arms and said tweet tweet, pretending to be a bird.
In the Petting Zoo
Metro Zoo has a nice petting zoo. Here are some of the animals we saw in it. They had a lot of birds in the petting zoo.
A Cockatoo
Two Parrots
A Rooster
A Turkey
He is safe in the zoo for Thanksgiving Day.
Here are just some of the animals on display at the zoo. We only got to see about half the animal. We got an annual pass so we will be going back soon. We will bring you more pictures after future trips.
A Camel
An Elephant
A Hyena
Two Lioness
Two Monkeys
A Tortoise
I told a young girl that tortoises can get as old as 400 years old. She looked at me funny. I said, “That is older than the United States”. She gasped and seemed shocked. I could tell the idea boggled her mind.
Brenda Decided To Hug The Statue of The Camel
Brenda has been a real hug bug lately. When her friends ask for a hug she gives them.
Brenda Looks At The Animals With Her Uncle Bill
We all enjoyed our day at the Metro Zoo. Thanks you Aunt Janet and Uncle Bill, for making the day all that more special. Brenda sends you her love.
Sorry it took awhile to get this entry up on the net. Our internet was down for about 6 days.
Love all the pictures of the animals! I wish there was a Zoo nearby here. A lot of those animals I haven’t ever seen before other than in photos.
