we went to the zoo

there was a tiny bright bird hiding in the back, and a 'dikdik' which was so hard to spot. b made sure everyone knew exactly where to look and it took some time to track it down.


the monkey houses were one of the favorite exhibits


a is excitedly calling everyone to come and see
he spent most of the day just like this

ha
it's an emporer tamarind

i think they all are starting to look like their dad

the penguins were also a favorite

he spent the day mostly riding the shoulders of these 2 and making lots of animal noises

we got to see the hippo fed - it was impressive
a whole watermelon tossed right into his mouth

hiding back there 'baird's tapir'

he was trying to keep up with the big boys and got an owie knee

 wow, whose giant family is that?

 at the petting zoo, before a got nipped by a goat
