We were surprised when Greg got today off of work. We decided to do something fun along with finishing some small projects.
It was a warmish day for January and we were trying our darnest to get out of the inversion, so we took an afternoon trip to the zoo. I'm not sure we avoided the smog completely, but the zoo is up high enough that we got out of most of it.
We had a great time!
Of course, we had to stop by the elephants - Guard loves them.
But, we discovered that Guard is really fascinated by the big cats. They were all out and very active. The leopard was pacing frantically,
the Siberian lynx was stoic,
and the tiger was playful. It rolled on the ground, paced and posed for pictures.
Guard couldn't get enough of the tiger. He watched, pointed and kept whispering, 'kitty'. It was quite adorable. Gavin declared he wanted one of each cat and he would train them to be nice to Coal. Yep.
We were also able to see Kate's favorite animal, the wolf. She was so excited to see them this time. Up next was Greg's favorite, the tortoises. The big one just kept staring at Greg and Guard.
The reptile and small animal house was warm (and stinky). We loved the birds,
the small monkeys,
and the small animals.
Rocky Shores was buzzing today. The sea lions were having so much fun...and we had so much fun watching them.
The polar and grizzly bears were loving the cool weather and put on quite a show. How do we measure up?
We finishing up our visit with a ride on the carousel. Enoch found a bear, Kate a wolf and Guard a rhino. The kids all had a great time.
We had an awesome time - we always love the zoo!
