A couple of weekends ago it was in the mid-to-upper 60's on a Saturday, so the four of us headed to the zoo for a couple of hours. It was so beautiful and we got to see some animals up close that we don't normally see.
A baby giraffe was born in the fall but she hasn't been outside much. It was great to see her moving around. I think Sophie was a little disappointed that a "baby" giraffe is still way bigger than she is.
The last several times we've been to the zoo we haven't been able to see any elephants. They're in a large exhibit and are very hard to find. But this day they were much closer and we had fun watching this one slinging mud on himself.

I love this picture of his arm around her. So sweet.
We love going to see the new flamingo exhibit. They are just fascinating animals and you can get so close to them. Last year when we were there Sophie got to ask the zookeeper lots of questions about them, so now she's our resident flamingo expert.
The Mook's view of the zoo was a bit limited, but he still had a great time and whenever we remembered to look at him between the animals he would give us a big grin. Poor kid...it takes a lot to get some attention these days.
