The Birmingham Zoo











Last Tuesday we went to the Birmingham Zoo with some friends.  We had a great time and enjoyed seeing all of the zebras from Africa, sea lions that barked as loud as trumpets, and alligators from the swamps.  They had a new exhibit of kangaroos that the kids enjoyed.  Chloe finally got to see her favorite things - flamingos!  We even found a swan like grandma saw in England when she was there.  While we looked at the butterflies in their "house" the children all sat down and read the map to inform us of where we were and where we should go next.  Chloe was much more interested in posing for pictures!  They also got to pet a camel.  Thankfully, once we saw them, noone wanted to ride one......they had a very, um, distinct odor!
