Definitely a short night of sleep as a result of Disney Fast Pass night, but we were up and at it early this morning to go to the Palm Beach Zoo.
This was definitely not a
big zoo, but in 95 degree heat, it was just as well and we enjoyed it. Probably not surprisingly, Emily was still in love with the river otter. These otters were definitely not as playful as the ones in Cincinnati, but she liked them all the same.
Her second favorite animal of the day was the white ibis (who'd of thought). I think it was her favorite just because a nice zoo lady gave her a few handfuls of food to feed them. They were awfully cute...and very friendly.
Some other fun animal friends on this trip included a jaguar, turtles, a peacock, flamingos, a koala, a tiger, a kangaroo, a wallaby, snakes, monkeys, lemurs, a cute little dessert fox and many, many more. It was definitely worth spending an afternoon there. Much fun. Many friends.
After zoo fun, we headed back to the resort and spent a little time on the beach. Dan and I needed grande iced coffees to get us through as the late night was catching up with us. We got Emily a snorkel to try out on the reef today, but unfortunately the tide was high this afternoon and the waves were rough. Dan took her out for a little bit to try it out, but it was just really rough this afternoon. So we're hoping to give it a go tomorrow morning at low tide. We also had a little pool time at the Lagoon Pool before cleaning up and heading to Bonefish Grill for dinner. Then it was time to call it a night. Disney stuff made for a very tried mommy and daddy tonight...zzzzzzzz
