Let me tell you of the wonderful things that happen when you have connections. We have family that work at the zoo, which is AWESOME. As an added bonus to our zoo membership, the employee perk was we got the chance to take a tour of the new kid's zoo before it opened up on spring break.
We went and checked it out. It was a super cool trip. The zoo fed us dino-nuggets, which while odd, were tasty. Luke enjoyed them a lot, and the fake hostess cupcakes as well.
But, I am missing the adventure, so let's get to the good stuff. So, here we go. We are in the "petting zoo" part where you can meet & greet farm animal type things. Pigs and goats and such. When all of a sudden we hear "the yellow flamingo is out." You would have sworn there was a bomb planted in the zoo somewhere. Employees everywhere all dropped (literally) everything they were doing and took off towards the flamingo pen.
We look up across the way to the flamingo pen to see what? No, not a yellow flamingo, but a normal flamingo getting manhandled by what appears to be a 16 year old. She has grabbed this thing by the torso and is in the process of placing it back over the fence. All the while the flamingo is kicking and writhing around trying to get free and take off. It was crazy, and hilarious all at the same time.
That said, we later learned that the 16 year old was actually one of the zookeepers at the zoo, she just looks young for her age.
And we learned what code yellow is. Apparently life gets fun if you ever hear that phrase.
Then I found $5!
