A Day at the Detroit Zoo...

After receiving a couple of free tickets at their e-recycling event, we made a day out of it and headed to the Detroit Zoo on Friday, 1st of May. It was a lovely day - not too hot and not too cold - and we enjoyed seeing all the animal exhibits. We took a picnic lunch and ate overlooking the lions and monkeys.

I particularly enjoyed the graceful movements of the swift-swimming penguins at the Endurance-themed penguin centre. Candace loved the zebras, while the children enjoyed the baby chimpanzee, the baby gorilla, and the penguins. We all loved the colourful peacocks walking around the Zoo!

Shackleton's Endurance was particularly well done.

Eliza fist-bumps a diver.

King penguin zooms right past my camera.

I found my flag outside the penguin centre.

Butterflies in chrysalises waiting to emerge.

The indoor butterfly garden was amazing!

We certainly got all our steps in at the Zoo.

Beautiful peacock!

Cute little warthogs.

Can you flutter like a butterfly?

Or perhaps waddle like a penguin? What a great day out!
