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.

Jax Zoo Field Trip

While house hunting in Jacksonville we took the time out to visit the zoo. It is a great zoo so many different reasons. They have a new penguin exhibit, giraffes to feed, Stingray Bay where you can pet stingrays. Part of zoo we enjoyed so much was seeing the birds you don’t see in the SC climate. If you make it all the way back to the end of the zoo there is a water park too. It’s a small one but a nice place to get wet after making to the back of the zoo. There are picnic tables and shady spots to rest.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.
