Zoo

We took our lil' giraffe to the zoo on Friday and he really enjoyed seeing the bigger animals like the jaguar (who kept pacing and staring at Colin as if to say -- "Hmmmm, he would make a tasty snack!"), elephants, and the giraffes. The hippos gave a big show, as well. It was a brisk, cool morning, so the orangutans and other tree dwellers were no where to be seen, so better luck next time.

The Zoomazium indoor play and exploration area provided a nice retreat from the cool weather -- and Colin really enjoyed the indoor rock structures and lower "cave" areas. The other indoor exhibits were a hit, as well, if you like seeing porcupines and bats while you zoom along at about 5 mph! No patient lingering and observation for this guy! The cock roach display grossed me out, but I was very fascinated by the cute little tamarins (smaller than I would have expected.)
