A day at the Zoo

The whole family got out of the house early this morning to head to the zoo to enjoy it when it was relatively cool and uncrowded. We were rewarded for our efforts with a fabulous time. The zoo was alive with animals enjoying the cool morning and there were no crowds until later.

We got to see the polar bears out and jumping in the water and eating fish, pet the goats, see the hippo out of the water, and generally have fun as a family.

It is really cool to reflect on the last time we visited the zoo as a family (not counting concert visits) and to see how much VK has grown, how she is really seeing things and remembering her favorites. The last time was Presidents day (February). Here is a photo from that visit: Riding the pony
