Visiting the zoo (again)



We decided to enjoy the fantastic fall weather we had this weekend by taking a trip to the zoo. Once there, we took a special train ride and toured a new facility that is being erected for the anticipated four elephants that will be arriving there in the spring. Mostly, though, the girls were impressed with the inflatable turkey (above).

These little guys (below) were scene stealers as well. They were actively hopping around, and one feisty little monkey stood really close to where Gracie was standing, with glass separating them, of course.



They girls kept asking to see the rhinoceros. We had a lucky break because the girls got to brush them. This little lady weighs in at 5,000 pounds. (She says she's just big boned.)



Finally, we saw my favorite, the old lion.... so regal... so majestic.



How was your weekend?
