Zoo



Elizabeth and I got up really early yesterday morning. We wanted to go to the zoo. The best way for us to do that is to ride the light rail. That meant catching it before 8 a.m. So we managed all that and got to the zoo before my friend Sara and her kids arrived. Sara has a zoo membership so we were able to get in with her. Very cool. Her youngest is 8 months old and seemed to enjoy being strolled around and he really liked me. He smiled and chattered at me a lot.
I love the zoo, but it always seems like I pick a bad time to go. The animals are always sleeping. Aha....wonder if that is because the animals I love are nocturnal....like tigers. We did see cougars pacing and they are not as big as I thought they were. They are kind of slinky. The ocelots are beautiful. We did see the polar bears playing so that was nice. We did a lot of walking up and down, up and down. Good exercise for us.
Then we caught the light rail back to my car. Elizabeth was asleep before we crossed the bridge. So she got about a half an hour car nap.
The weather was perfect, the company was great and the zoo was fun. All in all a really good day.
