Have you guys heard that children’s song, We’re going to the Zoo, zoo, zoo… How ’bout you, you, you? The kids love that song. There are several versions online, but we love the old one the best. I never thought that we’d be the kind of family that listens to kids songs, but we do, and we love it. The day before our planned zoo trip, our kids were PUMPED with this song. Yes, we’re a corny family, I know!
This post is about visiting the Atlanta Zoo. Surprise, right? We made a great investment in an anual zoo pass last February, and we decided to put it to good use for the fifth time this season and go with our neighbors this time. Dan has MLK day off, and so does our neighbor Jenn’s husband Chris, so we decided to take advantage and have a family day with some friends!
It was a chilly morning, but it warmed up in the afternoon and it turned out to be beautiful. Chris and Jenn have two boys, one that is Parker’s age, and one that is in-between Mason and Sienna’s age. The kids had a lot of fun playing together!
I got to try out some new settings on my camera, and shot primarily in Manual mode with a low ISO and an F stop of about 2 or 2.5. I love the blur of the lower F stop or 1.8, but I’m finding that I also get a lot more blur when the subject isn’t perfectly still. It was fun to practice!
Their favorite part of the zoo every visit has to be the petting zoo and the zoo’s playground area. Visit those two spots, and they’re in HEAVEN!
The kids certainly had some grumpy moments, but overall we made some fun memories!
