Today we spent some time at the zoo. We like to go there, but today we went because we knew they had a special Christmas display going on. Since I decided to do some fun Christmas stuff this week, this was today's event. Here's the boys climbing on top of a fake crocodile.
This is an orangutan that was carrying a branch to his resting place. We thought it was pretty funny.
I took this really cool picture of a hummingbird. I couldn't believe I managed to get it in mid-flight, and so clear, too!

This is a cropped version of the picture above. Pretty cool, huh??
A little later we got a really close view of this real crocodile. We were just on the other side of the glass. A little too close for comfort as far as I'm concerned. Levi was nearly fact to face with him and after a few minutes the
croc went down to the bottom and Levi said, "Yeah, I thought so." Like a challenge! It was so funny! Glass sure does make people brave, doesn't it??
lol
We were inside a building and Levi sat up in a window and these two little birds came right over and sat in the window on the other side. It was so cute!
Next, we happened to arrive at the stingray tank just before the keepers were going to feed them and for a dollar, I could get a cup of fish for the kids to feed them, too. So, being as "frugal" as I am, I decided one dollar and one cup was enough and they could share. But, since they were the only ones there, and the keepers were really enjoying telling them all about the rays and how to feed them, they just kept giving the boys fish to feed them. We must have spent 15 or 20 minutes there. But, the boys sure had fun. This is Indy.
Levi was a little more unsure about them, but he did stick the fish in...until they came close and then tossed it.
lol 
And, of course, being that it was about 85 degrees today, we had to play in the water play area. Here's Indy running through.
And, here's Levi playing with the water.
Then we moved into the bat area. Indy pretended to be a sleeping bat, hanging upside down.
Even Savannah enjoyed the water play area!
Savannah's friend, Alex, went with us.
Near the end of the zoo, they had this set up, with lights for nighttime viewing. See the "Zoo"?
It actually said "Happy Zoo Year." Too funny.
As you leave the zoo, there's the typical display of tourist brochures and the boys always stop to choose some to take home. Indy picked three main Florida theme parks....
...and not surprisingly, Levi picked three, yes three, of the SAME exact golf ones. Why? I have no idea, but that's Levi.
We had a lot of fun at the zoo and enjoyed the Christmas display and the other areas we visited. I'm glad we went. The zoo is so nice when the weather's nice. :-)
