Jurassic Zoo

Today was beautiful and not too hot, so we decided to go to the zoo. Marina wore her Jurassic Park t-shirt. Currently they have an exhibit called “Dinosaurs Alive” that we wanted to see.

We wanted to have lunch when we first arrived. So we chose to eat at the Asian inspired restaurant. We both ordered teriyaki noodle bowls. As we sat to eat, a mother pea hen and her chicks came over the tables. Marina loved watching them.

We had seen several of the dinosaurs on our way to the restaurant. I downloaded the zoo app on my phone which included a map of all the dinosaurs. Marina was very pleased to use it to find them.

 

As we went through the zoo, we saw all the “cats” which are usually Marina’s favorites. We also watched Dobby, the baby giraffe for a while. We also made it a priority to see all the dinosaurs. They were fun to watch! The one that impressed us the most was the T-Rex – it was huge! Marina froze in front of it, just as they instructed in the Jurassic Park movies.

We stopped for ice cream and then decided to ride the carousel. Marina started on a tiger but changed to a black panther because it reminded her of Jasmine. After our ride, we decided to go home. It was a hot day and we’d seen all the dinosaurs.
