Sacramento Zoo

I had a nice birthday.  Thank you for the birthday wishes.  I went to the Zoo with my kids, and had a wonderful time.  It was so good to see all the silly animals once again.  It's been way too long.

This is going to be a long post, so get a cup of tea and enjoy these delightful animals with me.  To start off with........this is the most fascinating and amazing bird to me, and Jess loves them.   The Flamingo.  I love how it stands on its one skinny leg.

This Pelican had a broken wing.  I felt so bad for it.

The Wallaby looks very similar to the kangaroo.

The Giraffe is another fascinating animal.  Its long neck stretches out and eats the food in the buckets that are placed way up high.

 

All the different monkeys were being shy and wouldn't turn around for us.

This is probably the most amazing, out-of-the-ordinary, spectacular animal that roams the earth.  They say that no two Zebras are exactly alike.

 

The bamboo grows extremely tall.

I forgot what the name of this animal was, but it was funny to watch it jump from one branch to the next.

I have to stop always when I see an orange flower.

Oh, someone's hiding.  Can you guess what it is?

The Ant Eater is so peculiar looking, isn't it?

The Tiger is always fierce and grand.

Some of the facts about the Vulcher were very interesting to read about.

This mallard duck was sitting so still that I thought it was a decoy, until I got a little closer. 

I used to take my kids here when they were little.

After the Zoo, we went to Olive Garden for dinner,  and Jess made me a homemade cake with homemade frosting.

And gifts..........I used to drink this tea during my days when I lived in So Cal.  It's the best tea ever!

I had a fun birthday weekend, and I won't wait that long to see these extraordinary birds again.
