the zoo in january? most definitely when the high is in the 60's! i almost wore shorts too, but i didn't since there is a lot of shade. we had a blast and it was probably the best day for animal viewing we've ever had. the animals definitely like the cooler weather better than the sweltering temperatures in the summer. the rhinos, who NEVER move, were running laps for 20 minutes at least. they were still going when we moved on. i don't think i've ever seen that many people pausing to watch the rhinos. normally, you pass by, there's the rhino, laying in the dirt, and move on. i should have taken a picture but i didn't.
we went with some new friends and had such a great time. i'm thankful i'm getting to know more people around here. we saw the whole zoo (some animals were put away because of the cooler temps) and molly walked the entire time. sophie walked a good amount also. needless to say, when we left at 4:30, they were tuckered out! we rode the carousel twice. molly discovered there's a red frog to ride on so sophie was super excited. in the barn there were blue frogs and green and black frogs. sophie was in frog heaven. molly enjoyed the monkeys and the sea lions were a big hit as well. they put on quite a show for us. we ended the day with a train ride around australia and had to come to a complete stop so the kangaroo could move from beside the track. it was fun seeing them so close. hoping the weather stays nice so we can go again soon.
