Day 5 was a really fun day! The first half of the day we headed to Cairn's Tropical Zoo. The zoo was rather small but was really hands on. We were able to pet and feed a lot of the animals which the kids (and Bridger and I) loved.
Our first activity of the day was to feed the Australian Pelicans.
Bridger and Forest are showing off their yummy pelican treat.
We have been to a lot of zoo's here in Australia but it is still so exciting to see all the unique animals.
look a kookaburra!
Westly is telling the dingo that he is not his next meal!
The cockatoos are always my favorite to see. I love all the different varieties. The brighter pink one on the right said "Hello" to us.
Bridger captured some great shots of the birds in the bird show. In the picture with the falcon on the far right, can you spot the food he is about to catch?
At first both boys were a little cautious of the animals and wanted a parent near by.
but in no time both boys were off by themselves feeding and petting the animals.
look the kangaroo and Forest are the same height!
Bridger and I had just as much fun as the kids feeding all the kangaroos.
When we were out of food Westly tried to feed this kangaroo leaves, poor guy.
He also tried to feed a kangaroo a stick.
Westly became too comfortable around the kangaroos and right after this picture was taken Westly picked up the kangaroo's tail. There is no picture of him doing it since I was scrambling to get him away before the kangaroo decided to kick the little nuisance.
We were around the kangaroos for so long that we started to look like them,
and needed a nap.
These pictures below are of Westly playing with the kangaroo cut-out.
They are just too cute I can't leave them out.
Bridger also got to hold a rhino beetle
and a wombat, his favorite animal.
alright alright the wombat is not real.
At each of the animal areas there was a stamp. As you can tell from Forest's arms we saw a lot of animals..
Forest is letting you know in this picture that you better stay tuned for the next post on the second half of day 5 or you will have to deal with this tough 4 year old!

Good heavens!!!! Where to begin?!? It's been so long since I peeked into your blog. What a wonderland of family fun and happy memories. You all look magnificent. Beautiful mommies and daddies make handsome little boys!!!! And yours are darling! Take me to your zoo. So amazing. Your trip looks like it was magical. Just so much to say, but I can't possibly do justice to all the warm fuzzies I get looking at your lovely family. We miss you! Will we ever see each other again?!!?
I love the picture of you and the Kookabura, you look so good and I love that outfit. I always have to stop and look everytime I'm scrolling through. I also love the picture of Westly straddling the roo's tail and just staring at it. It cracks me up everytime, he was so cute feeding them. I can't believe how brave Forest and West were, I'm so proud of them.
What a fun fun place. Reminds me so much of our time on Kangaroo Island. Love all the cute cute pictures. SO FUN!!!
