ABQ zoo & botanical gardens
We received an annual membership to the ABQ Zoo, Aquarium and Botanical Gardens from our FHCC family - thanks so much! Today was a pleasant day around 60 degrees so we decided to take the boys and girl out for some fun. We've all been working hard at school and home and needed a little family time out and about.
Sandy's parents drove in the same day my parents flew out. They've been here all week - helping us out and having fun with the boys and girl.
The ABQ zoo was the first stop, and it was quite impressive. They had a lot of animals and a lot of really cool animals. Several animals were ones we've never seen before like the black jaguar, and we've been to quite a few zoos. The exhibits were very well done so that you could see the animals very well. What are they looking at, you ask?
A very lively polar bear. It helped that the animals were quite active.
I had my hands full today.
There aren't a lot of trees in ABQ, but they had some beautiful ones at the zoo.
Matt enjoyed the ducks. It was a feeding frenzy.
The boys and girl were tiring out so we headed out to the botanical gardens next.
Even in the fall, it was a great place. I imagine it would be fabulous in the spring and summer. There was a Japanese garden there too - I love those. Sandy and I don't exactly match - she's city chic and I'm athletic casual.
