Trip to the Zoo

A couple of weekends ago Josh and I took the kids up to the Fort Wayne Zoo and out to eat at Caliente, our favorite little restaurant that makes the best Cuban food.  We hadn't been up to the zoo yet this year, so it was fun to see all the animals again and see the new work they are doing on some of the exhibits!

Check out the peacock in the background!  It stood with its feathers all out just strutting around for a long time.

Ike was really into the train.  It's cool to see him really get excited about stuff like this now-last year he was still too little.

Dave didn't feel the trip would be complete without posing in the giant egg shells.

And Ike followed along!











As far as the animals went, I think Dave's favorite was still the alligator (he kept asking to see it) and Ike seemed to enjoy the kangaroos the best.  A couple of them were going crazy and hopping all over the place so it was by far the most exciting thing we saw.  After the zoo, we went over to Caliente and had a Cuban feast.  Dave wasn't quite as adventurous this time, but he did like whatever Josh got (some kind of pulled beef sandwich).  Ike tried a little of everything and loved the tamales.
