And we learned what an ostrich looks like.
The rhino statue...unfortunately the real rhinos were too far away for us to see.
The zebra - "Mom, he looks kinda like a horse."
So happy we got good pics of the elephants... (see the story at the end of the pictures)
And "When I was a baby, I looked like the baby elephant." Right.
Also think the giraffes are really cool. I just cannot imagine giving birth standing straight up.
The grizzly!!
"Look Mommy, we're two guys the same sitting on the lion!"
"Mommy, is the alligator a stinky guy?"
In the polar bear cave
With Daddy & the bison statue
Watching the alligators
The highlight of our day was the elephants. Why, you ask? Because they are enormous, beautiful, intelligent creatures that happened to be pretty close to where we were standing? Because we got to see them spray themselves with water and with sand? Nope. Because we got to see the elephant pooping. A three-year-old boy lives at this house, and to him, the elephant pooping was way more exciting than anything else imaginable. You can imagine that all the other parents with small kids there breathed a huge sigh of relief when it was my child and not theirs that yelled "LOOK MOMMY! THAT ELEPHANT IS STINKYING! AND HIS STINKIES ARE REALLY REALLY BIG!"
Too bad we didn't catch THAT on camera.
