Zoo

The same day as the Aldo Leopold Center we met some friends at the Henry Vilas Zoo.  We have been going to the Zoo a lot lately, but we still haven't seen the whole zoo yet this year.  It is a great zoo and it was a beautiful day to be out and about.

The otters are one of my favorite exhibits.  They actually seem pretty happy, unlike some of the other animals. 

I think that the tiger would have liked to hide.  Poor thing.  I still think that zoos are important, educationally, but I do feel sorry for the animals. 

Maya was having a rough time.  She fell off of rocks when they were playing, she fell off of steps, and she just fell.  There was blood and tears, but she is one tough girl.  The tears never lasted for long and she was back in the game. 

At the end of a busy day I bought them popsicles.  I had them finish before we left, and they immediately fell asleep - green mouths and all.
