At The Zoo

We went to the Zoo last Wednesday- apparently it was "bring you kid to zoo" day as well as independence day.  There were a lot of very adorable babies. :)

There were also monkeys :)

And more little kids...

 

Bonding with their parents...

 

And rhinos! (Well, only one)

And a guy who looked like Jermaine?

 And a doodle-y kid?

The little kids threw things at me...  but man, look at how cute he is!

 

The elephant was... yawning?  Srsly?  I have no idea, but isn't that a freaky mouth?

 

There was also so adult child/parent bonding :D

They even had a little play area for the kids.

 Hell, even the sheepies had little chillin's.

 

They also had some bears- which I'd legititmately seen really up close before, but they had, along with Black, a Grizzly, and a European Brown Bear, which I'd never seen before.

And of the parents of a cute child held her up and above the bears, and she got all upset...

I particularly liked the big cats- but it was hard to photograph them, because there were like two fences between us.

 

The wolf was a bit easier.

There were some other photographers at the zoo as well...

I had such camera envy of him!
