Members Night at the Zoo

We have been zoo members for a good 8 years and have never been to one of their members nights. 

We decided this year we would try one out and met some friends there for the fun. 

We did all the things that we typically don't do at the zoo (the stuff that costs money). 

We headed to the Budgie house first and fed the birds. They were CRAZY aggressive about getting food this time. So much so that it creeped us all out. 

They wouldn't move so you nearly stepped on them and they came so close to flying right into you. We ended up setting the sticks down because they were so crazy.  

Well Scooter liked it but he looks like a bird whisper here. 

After that madness we hesitated to feed the giraffes but went ahead and did it anyways. 

It went much better than the birds and was lots of fun. 

One of the fun things about Members Night is that the rides are all open and free.

 I have pictures of me riding in these same rides when I was a little girl.

We let the kids play in the geysers at Teton Trek and then headed to see the sea lion show.  

We had hoped to pet the sting rays but by the time we got over there they were closed. 

It was so much fun and we will definitely be doing it again.
