Wild, Wild Life

We were really disappointed when we saw the weather forecast for today earlier this week. We were hoping for a day like Saturday, which was absolutely gorgeous. Warm (but not too hot) and sunny. Unfortunately today's forecast was pretty bleak. Cloudy with a 60% chance of showers all day. And cold. Boo. We've been wanting to go to the zoo with David (J's younger brother) and Tracey (David's fiance) since it opened Easter Weekend. We all ended up with today off but with the weather forecast we weren't sure we wanted to drive all that way.

At the last minute we decided to head to the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park and I'm really glad we did. The weather was warmer than we expected and it didn't rain at all. It was so nice that we even stopped for ice cream on the way home. It was a great way to end our long weekend.

There are peacocks everywhere!
 

We found a couple of love-birds roaming around. ;-)
 

Canada Geese and their babies!
 

He was so cute! He did a couple turns, just like Daisy, before settling down.
 

Posing with my new friend the Artic Wolf.
 

I love raccoons. I know they're basically pests, but I just think they're super cute.
 

David and Tracey checking out the otters. They look so graceful in the water, but so awkward on land.
 

Of course we had to pose with the bear!

 I loved having three days off in a row this weekend. J and I really enjoyed the time together and it was so nice not having to set an alarm. Hope you enjoyed your weekend, especially those of you in Canada celebrating Victoria Day!
