We missed the Noyces!

Zach and ShaNae came to DC for the weekend to go to the temple and invited us along! We were excited to see them and hang out again! 

The DC temple is stunning!!

After the temple we went to Chipotle for lunch, changed our clothes, and headed to the zoo!! We learned something new about Zach when we got there... he is a MASTER at parallel parking.  Check that out! You could not pay me to park that well, and he didn't even bump either car.  Maybe I am easily amused, but I was amazed.

The zoo in DC is free along with many other things. Score! There were a lot of animals we had not seen in person before so it was really fun.

We were trying to get a good photo of this panda but it would not stop rolling around!

This was THE weirdest bird.  It kept grabbing the red part of it's neck and chewing on it.

We had seen flamingos before but not while they were nesting.  Notice the egg? It was pretty neat. 

The zoo keeper fed this star fish while we were there. I had never seen one eat before, but if you look close there is a piece of food in between the glass and one of its legs just above the center of its body. It disappeared right when it got to the middle! Crazy! 

The biggest turtle EVER

First, you stick your hairy finger in the water and swirl it around in circles to form lots of bubbles.  Then, you pick up a handful, eat it, and start all over again.  YUM.

This money was just kickin' it by the glass looking at his hands.  He did not care that people were right there, and didn't look up once haha! 

We had a fun day and were grateful to Zach and ShaNae for inviting us! I think we will forever be in debt to them for all that they do for us.
