We are kind of spoiled in that the last zoo we went to was the for-profit San Diego Zoo which is pretty fabulous. There were some fun animals here too though.
The kids cared less about the animals than about playing
Some scary wildlife!
Kids also loved the sculptures
So sweet!

Whooping Crane -- did you know they were down to 21 TOTAL birds in existence in the forties. They're still trying to help the species recover -- up to almost 500 now. They're the tallest native North American bird species
Another statue!
Sure do love these guys! Wish we could get together every week! From here we drove into DC for a yummy dinner and great conversation at Bertucci's. Too busy with my mouth to use my hands for taking pictures, oops!
So much fun to be with old friends and see how the relationships change with the years
