Zoo... Again???

I did mention we have annual passes to Lowry Park Zoo... right?
This is a good thing because with a baby, you can't go for more than a couple of hours at a time... so everytime we go... we do something new...This time we got to feed the Lorikeets...
Squishy wasn't sure about them...
She was eye-balling them pretty good...
But they were very friendly Lorikeets!
Then we made our rounds... visited the orangutan, who was hiding under a box...
Quick stop at the koi pond...
because fish are one of Squishy's favorite animals in the world...
Then on to see this guy... who is one of the main reasons we came...
This is Bundaleer, a ten year old Queensland Koala... he is new to Lowry Park Zoo...
Did you know that koala's sleep for 20 hours a day??
Which is why this photo, where he briefly lifted his head... was like catching a glimpse of a movie star...lol.
The it was off to the Australian Outback where we got to see Kangaroos...
and Wallabies (honestly, they look the same)...
Squish had the best view in the house on Daddy's shoulders...
Then a quick trip through the Asian Gardens before the growling in Mommy's tummy got too strong and we had to go...
Our wax animal of the day?
The koala, of course!!!

Oh no, she totally does. She is only allowed "supervised" play with her wax animals... because she tries to eat his ears like the Easter Bunny.
