Our membership to the zoo is about to expire, so we thought we would take one more advantage of having it and go play. My mom came with us as she keeps telling us how long it has been since she has been to the zoo. Let me say right off the bat if I would have had to pay our way in today I would not have been happy. There is a lot of construction and we did not get to see many animals. That said......on with the story.
We had ice cream and have never done that before. It was tasty. Lily the baby elephant does not seem to have grown much since we saw her last summer, but it may be hard to judge since we were so far away from where we could see her. The zoo has taken some hits since we were there last. They lost the zebra, a sea lion and a tiger.
They gained three lion cubs. They were great and awake and playing. Connor slipped through a hole in the fence and placed himself right at the plexi-glass. He is not suppose to be there and I was told that. I could not reach him to get him out and he was not going to listen and move to the fence by himself. A man had a cane and let us borrow it to corral him. While all of this is going on you could see one of the cubs and the mama lion paying close attention to this little interloper by the plexi-glass. Wonder if they were thinking "snack". Anyway we got him out, no harm no foul. Really they should have fixed the fence whenever the missing link went missing.
Audrie's favorite today was the hippo. My favorite was the baby lions of course. Connor just liked it all. Mom got tired.
