Day in my life.
Today I had gone to the Zoo. The vibrant colors of nature, the lively sounds and the smell of pure freedom immediately caught my attention. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as I embarked on a journey through the animal kingdom.

The pure joy on toddlers faces as they see the  monkeys swinging from branch to branch. The monkeys playful antics brought pure joy to my face, as it reminded me of my childhood.
As we moved to the lions den, the whole group went quiet, not because of fear but because of the mischievous sparkle in the Alpha lions eyes as the zoo keeper approached with his meal. We were all patiently waiting for the zoo keeper to throw a massive pink chicken towards the mouth of the lion.
I had never seen anything like this, as the chicken flew into the den nine lions ran towards the glass screen with the hopes of being lucky enough to engorge this meal.
For our last stop the tour guide took us on a trip to the ice cold depths of Antartica. Of course by that I mean the penguins. Although this was not my first time seeing penguins, it was still such an amazing experience to be able to see.

After my encounter with the animals I had a few questions about the habitat of penguins and the recent studies that have showed indications of extinction. I had asked our tour guide how they are able to keep up with the environment of these high maintenance animals as well as the concern I had over how they are able to keep up with the constant change in climate.  

I had left the zoo in the afternoon to allow myself to spend time with my friends. We had decided that since it is a sunny day that we should pack a picnic basket and have a picnic under the big oak tree. We each had to choose a color and base our food items on the color you choose.  
I had to bring red, thus I brought some sweet strawberries, dark red cherries and some Asian drinks. My close friend had chosen white. She brought a variety of sushi rolls, each bursting with flavors that danced on my taste buds. The smooth texture of fish, the subtle crunch of the vegetables, and the tangy notes of soy sauce created a symphony of tastes that delighted my senses. My last friend had to bring brown. Although we fest of salty delectables we had some moist chocolate cake sluthered in dark chocolate frosting , the mix of sweet and bitter was the perfect way to end our picnic off.

I was stuffed after the picnic and it was time for me to head home and end the day off with some University work. I had finished a few tasks and finished my night off with a good book.
I was lucky enough to experience the animal kingdom and spend time with my friends all in one day.
