This weekend was gratuitously graced with light and warmth - and we love it when a plan comes together! There's always something to do with the kiddies when aboard your
Red Tricycle!
Besides, I've been wanting to go back to the zoo ever since
our first trip because Mandarin and the girls were far too young (
translation: they could care less about the animals and mommies just wanted a day out! ) and lately, I've noticed that Mandarin has shown much interest in animals.
There was a good lot of creatures and critters there. Not your average petting zoo; with bobcats, raccoons, ferrets, a beautiful peacock and other colorful birds, and a simulated African cave with clusters of bats. Let's not forget the affable host of this joint - this fellow right here and his entourage of ducks too.

I want a golden egg for easter!

| Mandarin on Bunny Watch. |
 |
| Leaf prints all around. You don't notice it at first, due to its subtle print. |
 |
| "Quack, Quack" says the duck |
 |
| Carefully scheming for a Bunny Bust! |

Mandarin encounters her first bridge.
Hesitant, alone. Brave and assured while Daddy holds her hands across the bridge.
She kept going back to the bridge, determined to conquer it herself. Even on all fours. |
 |
| We do not like large ceramic toads. |
 |
| Nonetheless, full recovery by the pond. |

What would I do with a golden egg.
Stick my tongue out and lick it, for sure. |
I find it heartwarming and amazing that such a place exists solely on the love a community has for children and the donations of visitors. The Junior museum and zoo is well kept, free, and best of all, clean. It's a great place to educate young curious critters without having to deal with a large crowd.
Taking trips to sweet little spots like these on a weekend opens up more opportunities to do other things after. Off to a cafe or a thrift store - maybe both?
Yeah, why not. There's time. ♥
