5th day... a visit to the zoo


We made an impromptu trip to the zoo this afternoon. It was nice, not too crowded. We spent most of our time in Asia. J&M love watching the elephants. There was a new baby born today, but we didnt get to see. Lots of talk about the brand new calf/babe..wish we couldve seen him. The tiger was asleep, but the lions were wide awake. It was the first time I had heard a lion roar right in front of me (it was more like a growl)..the lioness was looking at something making a very intimidating sound..very cool. The male was pacing the fence . I've never seen him up & moving. We mostly visit in the summer. But today he was up & HUGE. It was amazing how small I felt watching him. Of course, my new camera that I remembered to bring along was dead when I got it out for a pic. Maybe I can get Jack to invent a solar or wind pwered camera. That would definately come on handy since mine always seem to need charging.
Here's a zoo pic from 2006.
