We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo; How About You, You, You?

When the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point was slammed beyond reason, we headed to Hogle Zoo instead. Clever Auntie Em found buy-one-adult-get-one-kid-free coupons at Les Schwab. The zoo was a good choice. It was a fun day.

 Picnic first at Rotary Glen Park just east of the zoo

 All aboard!

 LT, HD, and FE

 The Dude with Auntie Em

 Drawn as if to a magnet

 Newly completed African Savanna

 Checking out the zebras from the covered terrace on the savanna

 Zebras are us

 That over there is often considered the place,
but today the zoo was the place

 The binkers brave as lions

 Now that's a lion

 Elephants doing their thing

 This is my favorite part of the zoo: Asian Highlands

 I've never been to real Asian highlands, but whoever designed this

part of the zoo, certainly has -- it's fantastic

 A lovely cool spot for some refreshment

 Ice cream anyone?

 KBT, binkers, Auntie Em

The pause that refreshes

 Emigration Creek flows through the zoo

 A spin on the carousel

 The Dude abides

Elephants of the African type

The misting fan felt like Monterey Bay

A great day. Hogle Zoo just gets better and better. That's all for now.
