It was a beautiful day, so Marina and I decided to go to the zoo. This time, she took her camera with us so she could take pictures of her own. She was particularly excited about seeing the tigers today.
When we arrived, we saw a demonstration about the opossum. First, we heard about them, then one was brought out for the kids to pet. Marina was excited to do that.
It was a hot day, so most of the animals were lying around in the sun (or a bit of shade if they could find it). We saw the lions, wild dogs and hyenas on our way to the tigers. When we arrived at the tiger enclosure, they were resting, as most of the animals were. But all five of them were quite close to the viewing window. Marina was delighted. We watched them for a while and got some great pictures.
The sea lions 
were splashing around and Marina enjoyed watching the underwater window. We watched some storks for a while and went into Bird World. We watched the hippo for a while. Mostly, we saw the head bobbling in and out of the water. But at one point, the hippo opened her mouth wide and turned over in the water. Seconds later, we saw the feet and belly sticking out of the water. It was so funny!
Marina and I took our usual rides on the train and carousel and she played on the covered wagon for a bit. Then she was ready to head home. Funny, she walked around Disney World for eight days, but didn't want more than half a day at the zoo. Go figure!
