we had to take a lovey-dovey picture together since a bike ride around the zoo was one of our first dates- the matching shirts were accidental, I swear.Sometimes when you have a "waa-waaaa" weekend, you have to make sure you make up for it big time on the following Monday or else. (It's a rule, look it up.) That being said, our Monday turned into "Funday" yesterday, and we decided to wrap it up at the PHX zoo.
We were practically the only ones there so we really utilized all of our membership perks (let me be clear, there are no membership perks). We were feeling crazy and paid extra to touch the stingrays and ride the carousel, and in case you were wondering, we were too skittish to touch the stingrays and yes, Ivy hated the carousel just as much as I did. But still...perks!
Being some of the only humans there, we had no shame in being 'those people'. You know, the ones who take pictures of all the caged animals through the dirty glass windows? (You know the ones). It all happened so sudden, but soon enough we had taken enough animal pictures to make a twelve month calendar out of, it was weird. Anyways, we were the only ones in the orangoutang exhibit (if you don't speak zoo, this is unheard of!) and we even got to feed them! (Fiiine, we watched a zookeeper feed them, I don't know why I lied about that.) The zookeeper told us all about the orangoutang species, it was fascinating. (Plus she had a tattoo of a monkey on her forearm, so I know she was legit.) Oh, am I still talking about the zoo? Here are a gazillion pictures.

I cannot stop looking at that orangutan picture! Incredible!
As far as zoo membership perks go, I don't know if things have changed since I was young but I recall my grandparents getting at least half of us grandkids in for free.
