Claire's Day at the Zoo

Claire suffered through a school holiday by going to the zoo. As one would expect, she set the pace and the agenda.

The main attraction this summer is Dinosaurs! So that was our first stop.

A carousel ride is always on the agenda. With the sparse crowd (all the other area schools were in session), Claire got her pick of the animals. Went with the Red Panda.

On the way to the Africa Forest exhibit, we got a good look at the male lion, right before he fell over for a nap.

Claire tries out a Halloween mask.

Some of her African favorites.

Next on the agenda - the Primates.

And the final destination - the Red Panda.
