Zoo Moon 2015 at Capron Park Zoo


Photo-A-Day #3757

Tonight was Zoo Moon at the Capron Park Zoo. We took the kids over enjoy the zoo at night with all the different vendors. We enjoyed some beef jerky that was made with a special rub. We came back and saw this vendor again and purchased a container of the rub. I would like to make a brisket with this rub or some ribs, at some point. It was very good.

Speaking of BBQ and such the poor lions had a BBQ food truck parked right in front of their enclosure. I know how my cats are around BBQ and I can only imagine how the lions must have been having their mouths watering. I got a couple nice shots of one of the lionesses, the one above and a shot of Ramses, the male white lion. I was using my new 50-150mm S lens on my NX1. I really like that lens on that camera. I also got a vertical camera grip to add to the NX1. Adding all of that to the camera made it huge!

The event was a good time and Andrew got to have the ice cream that he enjoys, it is called Like no Udder, a Vegan Ice Cream Truck. We each had some of the ice cream. It was good, I tried it but at least it is somethign Andrew can eat.

It was a hot one day for #AdventureFriday. I was up with everyone in the morning and then folded a mountain of laundry while Andrew watched some PBS. Around 9 we went to Morin’s and split a Fenway Fable and a Grilled Blueberry muffin. Andrew loves breakfast as much as I do.

With our bellies fueled up we headed over to the Capron Park Zoo because I knew that the Splash Pad was up and running. Well, it seems that there were a bunch of schools that were having outings and they had the same idea. When we got there a huge line welcomed us. We went over to the playground and played for a while so that the line would go down. While we played Andrew made a friend. He’s such a friendly kid. He goes up to anyone and introduces himself. It makes a trip to Target quite interesting. Continue reading #AdventureFriday Splash Pad
