Spontaneous Zoo Visit

Yesterday we were headed to the Children's Museum, and much to Ian's dismay, it didn't open for two more hours, so we headed to the zoo instead.  The zoo is going through a 15 year renovation, and as such, our favorite place, the aquarium, was under construction. But we enjoyed many of the other exhibits at the zoo.  Annaliese is more and more enthralled with the animals every time we go.

There was a time in his life when he was terrified to walk across this. Not any more.

Warm enough for the tigers to be outside.

Annaliese leaned back into Darrin in fear of the lion right on the other side of the glass. 

Usually when we're at the zoo, the gorillas are too hot to sit on...
