Just returned from the wildlife zoo and aquarium. Here are the highlights:
It didn't take much convincing...Bob escorted me on a log flume ride, that not only glided around the aquarium, but climbed up a very high slope before coming crashing down into the water. (it's higher than it looks from down below!) I was told that I had the best scream of the week. We didn't get that wet!! Very exhilerating.
Our feet literally skimmed the treetops during a chairlift ride around the Zoo. I was surpised that Alan wanted to do this. He convinced Bootie to go with him. Bob and I followed suit in the car behind them, and Pop Pop sat this one out, but took pictures of us from below. Having completed the log flume, I was a little cocky in proceeding forward with this, but was a little worried for Alan. He was fine, but I unexpectedly found myself in a panic as we took off. Bob was so supportive, and after a while, I loosened up and enjoyed seeing the sleeping kangaroos and black swans (who have the most precious bright red bills)
Playing with the sting rays probably was my favorite part of the day (it actually was my mission of the day!). We pet and fed them. They come sauntering up along side a large tub. You aren't allowed to touch their eyes or tails (which are de-barbed). At first, Alan just watched, but then joined me in the fun.
Now, Pop Pop and Bob are out exploring the area while Bootie makes dinner...Alan learned how to take pictures with a real camera, and is snapping photos everywhere.(just asked me where the garage was so he can take it's picture) That's all for now...after dinner, going to the pool.
