class at the zoo on animals in the Rainforest

It was hard to get a good shot of the kids due to the glare from the windows. It was a nice sunny day outside - and it was so nice to see the sun.
After the classroom portion we then walked around to see the primates that live in the Rainforest. It was very nice for the kids to get to see the animals.

Afterwards, we had some extra time before we had to get to piano lessons - so we went to the bird house. We actually got to see one of the baby penguins - that was only 2 1/2 weeks old. They also had to more babies - one was 3 days and one was a week or two. I couldn't get a good picture of them through the glass. It was very amazing to see though.

At this section of the bird house, the birds are not behind glass. They fly all around you. They are so used to people coming through they rather expect you to move - and they will just stay on the paths. Here is one cleaning himself right on the walkway. Couldn't care less that we were there. Kind of amazing!

Clearly I was in his way. This was his house after all!
