Brrrrr Zoo

Today we went to the zoo. It was okay weather when we left but 15 minutes later it was 37 degrees and sleeting! We went through the zoo anyway. We intended to do only the inside animals but the outside animals loved the weather so we stayed outside in the rain/snow and watched them. The Alaskan Brown Bear Cubs were playing with each other and then tumbling with a log in the water right in front of the window. The lions were chasing birds. The polar bear was pacing around. The seals were swimming and talking. It was exciting! We (Jim and I) were soaking wet even though we had an umbrella but the kids were warm and dry inside our limousine stroller. We ended up spending 4 hours at the zoo and when we came home James took his first 2 1/2 hour nap! How nice!
