Winter Break at the Zoo

To celebrate the last day I can go across the 520 bridge without tolls, I took the kids to the zoo today.  The warm rain kept crowds away, and we had an excellent time! 

 

The Willawong Station was open and I had exactly $3 to buy three seed sticks.  I love this and it’s even more fun to see my kids so excited—and simultaneously terrified—to feed the birds.

(This is the peppermint candy scarf I made for Piper.)

I came up with a new game that the girls got into.  On a notepad, I wrote the letters A-Z.  Then we tried to find as many animals with corresponding letters as possible.  We were only there a few hours, so only got about half the letters, but we’ll bring it next time, too.  Hopefully the zoo has an X-ray fish somewhere!
