In May while up in Birmingham Andy's Mother took us to the zoo. The Birmingham Zoo is really small, but we still had a great time. Caleb thought the Sea Lion show was so funny and enjoyed being splashed by them. Stephen seemed fascinated by the monkeys swinging around. I think Andy and I enjoyed the Lorikeet exhibit the best. The Lorikeets are beautiful little rainbow birds who will land on you. One persisted on unbuttoning the zookeeper's shirt buttons while another sat on Andy's shoulder and tried to clean his ear. :) Caleb and Stephen freaked out when the birds zoomed down to land on our shoulders and wouldn't stop fussing so we had to leave a little earlier than we would have liked. Both of them loved the train ride we took at the end. It was really neat to see this beautiful Bald Eagle just sitting in the tree, they are such enormous birds.

This is a river otter from here in Alabama, I love them, they are such graceful creatures in the water.

The kangaroos were so neat. We even got to see them hop around which was unusual, the zookeeper said that they normally don't move around in the afternoon.
