The first place we went was called Sting Ray Bay. They have this huge pool of sting rays, and you can just stick your hand in and pet them. I touched a few, but for some reason it made me nervous. Maybe because that's how the crocodile hunter died...
Andrew, it turns out, is a sting ray whisperer. He put his hand in the water and they formed a line to be pet by him.
Jake always looks incredibly stoic at the zoo, but I swear he likes it!
Another highlight of the trip was the Laurikeets, which are beautiful, colorful birds. You can actually go in the cage with them! We decided to splurge and spend $2 on nectar and feed them. Jake really wanted to pet them (or more likely grab them, pull their feathers out, and eat them). They were some of the animals he actually seemed to notice. Jake likes the zoo for the people watching, it seems :)
We also saw some monkeys, swans, penguins, otters, and lots of other fun animals. We are so glad to live close to such an awesome zoo!
