Day at the Zoo!!

Saturday, Spencer took me to the Zoo and we had the BEST day EVER! I haven't been since they did the new polar bear exhibit and put in all the new restaurants. Spencer and I ate lunch at this BBQ place that was SO good! We got the Bacon Ranch Burger and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Not to mention the fries were amazing too!
We had so much fun walking around, hand in hand, seeing all the active animals, pushing children out of the way to get pictures and better looks. There were times when I felt like I was with my Uncle. Uncle Spencer =) He would hang back, as I would run up to the glass, pushing children outta the way so I could get pictures.  Hold my stuff when I would climb up on walls and rocks to get a better look. He was so great. Haha



Mine and Spencer’s favorite part of the whole day is when we stood there for like 15 minutes and watched a Bald Eagle getting closer and closer to its lunch (a dead rat) the suspense was killing us! We just stood there frozen. (Of course I had to climb on a rock to get a closer look since Spencer wouldn’t let me get on his shoulders… Psh…). Finally after like 10 minutes, it finally picked at it then RIPPED IT OPEN with it’s beak! Oh it was SO NASTY!! It was like watching The Walking Dead! The eagle like ripped out the intestines and they were SO stringy and long!!! Oh it was SOOO SICK!! I of course was cheering with the 4 year old in front of me! Hahaah (Poor Spencer).

It was such a perfect day!
