Some Ramblings...

Just got back from the zoo with babies and girls. Forgot how friggin scary Austrailia at night is, they have now made it scarier by only opening the door every 2 minutes and then sandwiching the people that enter every 2 minutes into a pitch black room with bats, heart beat rythym music and a video screen. It was enough just to keep me from crying, fussing not to mention the babies. Once the 2 minute video that would freak out alfred hitchcock is over the door slowly opens and you follow the tiny lights towards the nocturnal animals. Tiny red eyes staring at you from behind the glass, creeping in the shadows as you the reflection of the shiny skin of a python slithers past...
3 reasons you should go to the zoo:
to see a peacock wandering out of the zoo with a coke can in its mouth
to see a hippo snort snot at a child for getting to close to him
to sit in the butterfly exhibit and have hundreds of butterflies swarming around you(while forgetting about the thousands of caterpillars also in the exhibit)
3 reasons you should not go to the zoo:
to see anything small and creepy in the dark
to sweat out all of your toxins in the rain forest exhibit
to purposely sneak into the dinosaur park and get locked in the zoo at night... well that one is still up for debate
exhausted and more pink than tanned
