On a sunny but cool Saturday in March, we went to Hogle Zoo. Everyone had their own map so we could make sure we saw it all. In this first picture, there are two or three lions in the center background. We didn't see the lion cub triplets that were born a few weeks ago. They are still in the nursery, I guess.
In this picture we are watching elephants.
The tail of one elephant is on the right of this real camera selfie, and the other elephant is in the background, top center.
The river otters were in a kind of a playful mood, but were too quick for me to catch a decent picture. Danny found this much slower otter statue to make friends with.
There was more statuary to climb on.
And once again Danny made friends.
We had a snack of ice cream and pretzels, but had to sit in the sun so we wouldn't get too cold.
The gorilla house was very interesting, with three silverbacks prowling and chasing around the swings in their indoor habitat. It didn't seem like the outdoor venue was open.
The kids loved climbing on the rocks.
On Sunday, Addy and Lynne showed up at our house, and Addy wanted to help grandpa in his office.
"Look how pretty grandma is, grandpa!"
Happy to have a few days to look forward to.
There may be something in life more enjoyable than grandkids, but we're not sure what it could be.
