Wandering Through the Zoo

Here are a few pictures from our latest zoo wandering....we're looking forward to some warmer temperatures, it's still a bit chilly.

We may have the chase them off the porch with a broom, but I still think raccoons are cute

The porcupines poofed their quills out for us

We've spent a lot of time watching the giraffes; they're one of my favorite animals at the zoo. We like to watch them because:
1. You don't have to walk 50 miles to get the the giraffe habitat.
2. There is a nice, high look-out so it's easy to see them.
3. Giraffes have awesome tongues.
4. Edison has a few giraffe toys that he really likes and maybe one day (just like my sister's husband Ryan), Edison will also strive to be a giraffe when he grows up.

 Check this crazy tongue out! You can click on the pictures to make them bigger if you want a close-up!

 A few of the cats where out enjoying the sun. This is a lynx (left) and a lion (right).

Here are a few more. This was the first time we'd seen the rhino; we'd never wandered over to him before. We was staying inside where it's warm.
