Zoo Day

Saturday we went to Hogle Zoo!  It was hot hot hot, but luckily toward the late afternoon we got some clouds rolling in to provide some relief.  Kai stayed home with the nurse, and it is a good thing because I don't think he would have done well in the heat.

The new exhibit at the zoo is Rocky Shores, where they have the polar bears, seals, sea lions, otters, etc.  It was our favorite part and Zuri loved how close she could get.

This picture (above) is funny because she kept turning around to "show" us the seals, and every time she would turn the seals would swim right by the glass, so it would make her jump when she turned back to the seals and they were right there!

Zuri kept talking about going to see the elephants and turtles, but when we got to those exhibits, the animals were so far away that she wasn't as interested.  She liked the tigers because they roamed above her, but she was more into the mist that the zoo had to help cool people down, which was located beneath the tiger's walkway.

For a break from the heat, we went to the bird show; it was about that time that the clouds started to roll in.  It was a lot of fun to see the birds and they put on a good show!  A couple of the birds had minds of their own and weren't quite cooperating, which always makes for an interesting show!

There are doves in the background.  It was really cool.

After the bird show, Zuri and I took a ride on the carousel! She loved it and didn't want to get off!
