Who knew such a thing existed?! Apparently, it's the most kangaroos anywhere outside of Australia, and we had a great time seeing all of them! We learned lots of interesting facts: baby kangaroos are only the size of a gummy bear when they're born (the smallest type are only the size of a grain or rice!); Mark is the best boomerang thrower around; and bamboo is an insanely fast grower (see picture below). All in all, a very informative and enjoyable day.
Each person in our tour group (there were about 85 of us) got to take a turn throwing a boomerang. I think Mark was a bit nervous, but he got up to the plate and killed it! Seriously, he threw it better than our tour guide.
Yeah...that's fast.

This kangaroo was crazy. It was soooo huge and kept growling at us. One of the guides later told us that it meant he was excited, but I think he wanted to kill us!
Getting to pet the kangaroos was awesome, even though we only got to touch the little guys.
I've never posted a video before so hopefully this one will work...we saw some pretty good kanga-fights, but this was the only one recorded.

That looks so fun! I'll have to take Spencer there sometime. I think we actually know someone who works there.
Noelle I totally have a list up on our fridge too. A bit shorter but I want to check out your fab 50 list of things to do in Atlanta. The Kangaroo Conservatory is totally different. How fun.

So I have never been a zoo fan, probably something dramatic from my childhood that I blocked out, but I must say that the kangaroos looked like a lot of fun and very cute.
Hurry and check out all of the things on the list so when I visit you will know just where to go...
