I have been waiting for this day since I found out that I was able to attend! It’s my first field trip with Isabel and her class all year! It was a great day; it started out with a whole lot of rain but when it was time to head to the zoo the clouds began to clear up and the sky began to turn blue! Enjoy!

I didn’t get many pictures because I had to keep an eye on my 3 kids!

At the new stingray cove with Atlantic, blue spotted and yellow stingrays.

Isabel finally touched one after I did! She didn’t want to leave after that, so we came back again before we finally left the zoo. Not what you expect when you touch a stingray, feels like jell-o or jelly in a jar.

We got to see the new Sumatran tiger cub, Kali born in April 2013. In another area were Berani (burr-rani) and Dumai (doo-my) born days apart in August of 2012.

The meerkats had kits (5) born on March 18th (not pictured here).
The meerkats were fun to watch, until they all got sleepy.
