A few weeks ago, Gwen and Sharon, friends of mine from growing up in New Jersey came to spend the weekend in DC - to catch up and hang out with the kids. We visited with each other as much as possible, but the kids did get in the way a bit ;) Saturday was kind of raity, but we braved the weather and hit the zoo. We were lucky enough to catch the sloth bear feeding demonstration when we arrived. (Note: The sloth bears might be my favorite animals at the National Zoo right now. They sucked these little buggies so loudly that I was sure there was some mechanical device doing the work, but the presenter assured us that it was just the bear.)
We also spent quite a bit of time in the bird house - it was a dry place to sit and eat lunch. We found a very brave blue-crowned pigeon.
Sharon egged on this little owl. He was quite offended at her attempts to scare him and responded accordingly – though I missed getting a good shot of it.
We spent some time at the end of the day with the prairie dogs and Collin and Paige got to run through the tunnel play area.
