We had a wonderful visit to the Jacksonville Zoo on Monday.

I didn’t take my camera because I wanted to enjoy the day but here are a few photos from AUSTRALIA I took with my phone.

The kids loved the birds.  They are called lorikeets.  You can check them out here. I have to admit it was a lot of fun.

“Hello beautiful bird we’ve never seen before……”

We bought nectar to feed them.  It was amazing to watch their tongues scoop it up much like a dog laps water.

Our second born was a bird favorite!!

Baby girl was not sure of them at first.  All the flying around scared her but by the time the nectar was gone she was over her screaming every time one moved.

It was nice to have a day away from the class room!  Go have a field trip and send me some apples if you live near the NC mountains.
