Take Me to a Zoo ...

Today was unseasonably warm, so Marina and I decided to go to the zoo. Apparently few others had that idea, because it was nearly deserted. But the animals were much more interesting than they are on hot summer days.

We started out looking at the lions. The two males were right by the glass viewing windows. It was so interesting to see the up so close. We were also able to see the African wild dogs and tigers as they lounged near the windows.

We went on to the polar bears. One was very active and even stood up near the window in front of Marina and some other kids. We went inside to view the snakes and fish. Then we watched the sea lions underwater for a while.

We walked through the zoo to get to Bird World. It was almost empty, so the birds were everywhere. One even stood right in front of us, calling to the others.

As the afternoon progressed it got cooler. So we headed home. It had been a really fun day with the animals.
