Reston Zoo

Yesterday, a friend and I decided to pack up the kids and take a day trip to the Reston Zoo.  It's about an hour outside Winchester, somewhat close to where Chad's new office is.  It boasts a variety of exotic animals, from creepy snakes to cute baby kangaroos.
Here's the 'before' shot of all 4 kids pumped to see some animals...

Our first adventure was a wagon safari ride, in which a tractor pulled us through the animals' habitat and they'd walk right up to the wagon for us to feed them.  The animals were fearless, and we were a bit... fearful!

Forget the name of this guy, but he was hungry!

Next, we braved the bird aviary.  Birds are definitely not my favorite creatures, and  being in an enclosed space with nearly a gazillion of them made me sweat.  But the girls really wanted to feed them, so we hastily took some pictures and then got the heck out!


Nice little birdy.....

AHHHHH!!!!!

We fed some sheep...

Rode a rhino....well, sorta.


And pet a sleepy kangaroo


It was a fun day!
