We've been wanting to do something with Shiloh and Kara and their fun girls for awhile. The other day Hyrum and I got to go the zoo with Kara and the girls. What a treat! It was a perfect day. The weather was great, the animals were out and active, and the company was fantastic. I really enjoyed hearing listening to Kara as she told me about her dissertation on the history of the American west. Hyrum really enjoys the girls too. We spent the day strolling around the zoo. Hyrum loved seeing the animals. The meerkats were a lot smaller than I thought and after watching Meerkat Manor it was fun to see some in real life.
One of the best parts may have been just after we saw this peacock strutting. We were sitting at a little table near the petting zoo and the Little People playground (SO CUTE!). I was holding Hyrum and he started pulling me back. I looked over my shoulder and there was a mallard duck inches from Hyrum's reaching hand. He was so into it. I started giving it little pieces of bread and Hyrum got such a kick out of it! He was laughing as the duck came stayed right by us for probably five minutes or so.
