This Father's Day was spent @ the Lowry Park Zoo. My mom and sis were in town and dad's got in free that day, so it was a wonderful way to spend Father's Day out and about. We enjoyed everything the zoo had to offer, except we missed out on some of the perks. We unfortunately didn't get to feed the birds because when we got there, the birds were all "full," I guess from their previous session (strike 1). Then we went to feed the Giraffes, and wouldn't you know it, all 3 Giraffes were as stubborn as could be and decided to ignore us while we stood there with a giraffe cookie in our hands (strike 2). We headed to the kids area so that Cristiana could ride a pony, and though the sign said the pony rides were open until 4:30pm, the keepers had them in their stalls and bathing @ 4pm (strike 3). No luck for us that day, but we did still have a great time and the Cristiana ended a fun trip with time in their splash area, which was also met w/tears when the water was turned off as the zoo closed its doors for the day. We did enjoy some yummy authentic Cuban food there in Tampa (as we always do), Lord knows not many places here in Orlando have real authentic Cuban food (even though they say they are), and drove home.
Thanks for the pics sis!
