What a great morning to head to the zoo! We bundled up with mittens and matching moose hats for the boys, the car said 37 degrees when we were heading inside, brrrr. It seriously felt like we had the whole zoo to ourselves!
We were the only ones in the polar bear exhibit, getting the low-down from the zookeepers on each of the polar bears. This here is Neil, and he wasn't having a good morning :( He was mad he had to search so hard for his snacks this morning, so he was pouting. I'd be mad too, Neil! They still have one female refugee polar bear from Duluth (since it flooded there in the spring) who is half Neil's size (a mere 500 pounds compared to Neil at 1000 pounds) but she's turned into the boss of the group. Well done, lady polar bear!
Whoa, I mean ROOOAAAR! Can you believe how close I am to this thing?!
The giraffes were awfully frisky this morning. They say the giraffes & zebras can only be outside when it's above 50 degrees during the day and at night, so no outside play-time for them, bummer. I'm guessing they were going a little stir crazy. Mr. Giraffe, I feel your pain, Henry goes stir crazy, sprinting round and around the house when we can't get outside, too :)
What great pictures Sarah! We had a lovely morning with the two of you...as usual! Owen is still sleeping...phew, let's see if mama can get a blog in!!
