Beating the Rain





We enjoy the zoo and one Sunday we decided to pack up and go. The forecast was calling for rain in the late afternoon so we thought we would try to beat the weather. An early picnic lunch hit the spot and then we headed in to see the animals. We started in Africa, but it did in fact start raining while we were there. We will have to save North America for another time. The rain did take us to the aviary exhibit which we usually bypass on a sunny day. There we saw lots of colorful birds. The girls also liked the vents on the floor. Many times we found Sadie with her head down with the air blowing her hair. The elephants were so close to the front of the exhibit that we could see the hair on their backs. We saw lemurs, gorillas, a lion, emus, zebras, and giraffes. Though our trip was cut short we had a good time with the "amals" at the zoo.
