Woodland Park Zoo

Today Lon and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo, with Chris and Ben. It was SO much fun! We did about half of the zoo, that was enough.  Lon wants to go back
The first place we went was the family farm section. The petting zoo opens tomorrow, the first day of spring. We saw goats, sheep, a barn owl and miniature panda cows. The only thing that makes the cows miniature is that they have tiny legs.

This silly bird saw a spider on the other side of the glass, and kept flying into the glass to get it. Over and over again.

Laughing at the bird
Toucans!

That gorilla is trying to climb up the vine and get out of the zoo. Look!!
Orangutangs all sleeping in piles is pretty silly.

Pengiuns swim by pretty fast!
Climbing on the baby elephant. We only saw one adult elephant and he was far away.
More animals to climb on! We saw the Lion, we heard the lion! Every time the tiger said something or moved around in the enclosure near the lion, the lion felt the need to let the tiger know he was there. He was king, not the tiger!
These rocks were donated to the zoo from the listerners of radio station kzok. In memory of Jimi Hendrix and his music. There is a brass plaque, I did not know that beforehand
The boys just really liked playing on the rocks
In the African Village they played the drums. From the school building you were able to view the savannah. The giraffes, the ostrich, the zebra and the hippos!
There were also rattles and bells to play
Climbing into and out of a little stick hut. Then we were back to the begining.  A super fun day. There were a couple of cranky moments, but pizza fixed that.  I am so glad we went! So is Lon
