A day at the zoo!

 The first train ride of the day! 
 Hello little monkey.  Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the monkey hanging by his fingers from the one inch ledge, peeking over and through the window, and then climbing back up onto the ledge to look at Calvin. 


 We were really, really close to the lions.  The normal lion exhibit is being remodeled so they are in a smaller enclosure but it's great for the visitors because we are up close and personal with the lions.  The normal enclosure is down in a valley so visitors are looking down on the lions from far away.

 After walking around for a bit we revisited the lions because we could hear the male lion roaring and making another noise that sounded like barking.  Or what a lion would sound like if he were to bark.  Anyway, it was amazing!  After that the male lion came over by glass and was staring right at Calvin.  The male lion also tried to paw at a guy's head through the glass.  The lions were feeling feisty yesterday!
 First carousel ride of the day.  
 Second train ride looking forward.
 Second train ride looking backward.  Yes, we were the only passengers.  Same for ride number three!

Staring at the guy whose head looked tasty.
