Zealous for the Zoo!

This past week we were able to go to the Sedgwick County Zoo for the Airbus Family Picnic (Cam's work) and I was pretty excited to go because I had never been to that zoo.  Cam and I got there early so we could look around and it was a pretty cool zoo.  We made it through all the exhibits that were open;  I think the Jungle exhibit was the only one closed for renovations so I didn't miss out on much!  I thought about taking my good camera to take some pictures but on second thought I decided I didn't want to hang onto it all day [Plus I didn't want to creep out Cam's co-workers :) ].  So instead I took pictures on my phone so the quality isn't anyway near my Canon but I will share some pictures anyway!   

 Here we are at one of the exhibits...it turned out to be a pretty good day for the zoo...overcast and cool for the most part.  It wasn't until the afternoon that we got really hot walking around.

               This little guy was down for the count!  Alright..he's not so little. BUT very cool to look at!  
 When Cam and I saw this it made us think of my cousin Sarah who really likes Peacocks...the colors were amazing! 

This was one of the best parts of the day--while we were walking from exhibit to exhibit we noticed a whole line of geese that were walking in a straight single file line so Cam went to the front to lead them.  His leadership skills with geese could use some attention though because not long after he jumped in front their formation fell apart and they all started wandering around!  It was too funny! 

                                    These birds are just beautiful with their bright blue color! 

                          These guys were just as pretty with all their different colors though!


And last but not least a picture of what my brother looks like when he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.  KIDDING!  This little guy was pretty stinking cute too!

Overall we had a great time and got to check out some pretty cute animals and hang out with a few of Cam's coworkers so I would call my first trip to the Sedgwick County Zoo a success!


{One last little note--Cam and I also got to celebrate our 2nd anniversary this past week and we had a great day!  Cam surprised me with Panera's for breakfast and informed me that he was also staying home from work so we could hang out!  I went to my work out class in the morning and he went to the shop while I was in class then we went out to lunch and did some shopping and even went to see a movie
(The Avengers--which was SO good!)   Here's a picture (from my phone again--sorry!) ....we took it while we were waiting for our movie to start!}

I even wore a dress!  I think the world did shudder a little when I put it on though... ;)    
Hope you all have a great night!
