Beardsley Zoo
The Beardsley Zoo is a small zoo in Bridgeport, CT. Mikey’s bike camp was closer to the zoo than home, so we met up with friends after his camp was over. My mom joined us also! I will share more about that tomorrow.
This exhibit allowed the kids to measure their own ‘wingspan’ and compare it to different large birds.
We went through the entire zoo and still made it home before bedtime.
As I look at this, I can’t help but be amazed that we all had the energy to do this. This was a jam-packed day, and I was probably pushing it by making the schedule so hectic.
This time, it worked out okay. We got to spread our wings and had a great time!
