I had a really fun day on Friday with my friends' two girls. We went to the Detroit Zoo to see the animals. It was a hot hot hot day so I wasn't sure it we would have too much activity but much to my surprise we had some great up-close glimpses! First we rode the train to the back of the Zoo. We had a picnic lunch (apples, bananas, yogurt, pbj's, and jelly lifesavers)
I thought the back end looked just as cool as the front end!
We saw the hippo really close up. He was just wading under water trying to keep cool! What a crazy looking animal.
The rhinos slept in the shade.
I think this zebra's stripes are very beautiful. It is definitely a different species from the ones I see in Africa.
This Gorilla came right up to the window and looked
at the beautiful human exhibit on the other side.
The girls were pretty intrigued.
what fun we always had at the zoo. I remember taking Peter just to ride the train when he was good for me. We see one animal get on the train and ride back! what fun we had.

Yes the zoo is a lot of fun. It always makes me think of the picture of you and Aunt Yvonne in front of the fountain.
ReplyDeleteThe train was a lot of fun. It's $3 a person for a one way ticket these days! I figure it helps feed the polar bears!
