There was a zookeeper telling about a few animals and then the kids got to pet them. Kolby was excited that the box turtle was three years old, just like him.
We went to a short show about birds of prey, and we learned that even though bald eagles are mature after about a year, they don't get their white head and tail feathers until they are a few years old. That was something I had never heard before. So we got to see an all-brown bald eagle (the bald eagle is Michael's favorite animal).
We went on the little train ride, and although it didn't really go anywhere where you got to see any of the animals very well, it was a fun little ride for the boys. And we also went to the far side of the zoo that I hadn't been to before, and we saw the kangaroos and koalas.
One of the best parts was the seals right before we went home. We went down to watch them swimming through a big glass window, and one seal kept swimming right up to the glass in front of a big crowd of cheering kids over and over again. It was a really fun day.

Hi Stephanie- It looks like you guys had fun at the zoo and the beach. Have you ever been to Fox Brook Park?? Your boys would love it there. They have a beach and a playground right on the sand. It's a fun place. It is on your way to Lake Pewaukee. You should check it out sometime or I will call you next time we go. Have a good 4th of July.
