Zoo Day Trip

Woo-hoo, Superbowl is coming up soon and you have to know by now who’s playing…..the CARDINALS!!!! If they win, then my conspiracy theory might just be true. Haha, let’s totally disregard the fact that they changed quarterbacks. The game was yesterday but I didn’t get a chance to watch it.

I went to the Wildlife  World Zoo and Aquarium with a bunch of my friends. There weren’t that many people there but I didn’t foresee that we would spend so much time there. It was actually a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, with rides and even a restaurant and bar built around a huge shark tank. We stopped in there for a drink and bite to eat after we got done looking at the zoo animals. We also rode a log flume ride through a river with monkeys and flamingoes, and got on the sky lift that went over the entire park…so we literally passed right overhead some of the enclosures. It was cool to look down and see some animals that you couldn’t see from the ground. I think my favorite part of the day was when we walked through a little australian exhibit where there were ducks, wallabies, and kangaroos walking around freely. I got nervous for a second when a male kangaroo actually jumped right into our path and was staring us down. He was taller than me and I’ve seen those videos on TV of people getting kicked by kangaroos! That would probably do some internal damage! Thankfully though, he was  just pausing for a second before he jumped back over the rope that separated the grassy area from the walkway! I wonder if anything has ever  happened to a person walking through there???? Just glad it wasn’t me! We also saw an 80+ year old, 95 lb alligator snapping turtle which was amazing!!!!…even cooler than the baby white alligator they had on display also. So all in all, a pretty awesome day. I love going to zoos! Plus it had been a while since I did something fun with my friends besides partying at clubs and bars. It’s fun to act like a kid sometimes.  There are so many things to do in Arizona also that I haven’t done yet. I still would LOVE to go to a baseball game, even if baseball is my least favorite sport. I haven’t even been to the Grand Canyon yet!!! I definitely need to get out more often to see what Arizona has to offer.
