Ooooh! The zoo!

Today we took Granny to the zoo. It was a little chilly, and we thought this would mean we'd have the zoo to ourselves, but in this we were sadly mistaken. The front lot was completely full by the time we got there, and there were school buses lined up as far as the eye could see! Well, not really, but suffice to say we took in the zoo with a number of eager students today.

We saw our beloved "Oddy" on video, but weren't able to see any of the other orangutans today (for whatever reason none of them were in their exhibit-- could they be on vacation too?) We did, however, enjoy lively giraffes, monkeys, a toucan, tortoises, snakes, and a barnyard of other farm animals. In fact, the baby wallabies left us downright wistful for our own pouches.

We didn't stay long, since lunch and nap time began to loom large before us. Now we have our season pass, though, so we look forward to wearing out the pathways at the zoo this year.
