More Fun at the Zoo

The weather was so nice (and warm) yesterday, so my mom, sister, Edison and I decided to visit our animal friends at the zoo. I was so excited about the Spring weather that I even broke out the flip flops for the first time this year.

We weren't the only ones enjoying the sun; most of the zoo animals were out soaking it all in as well. There were a lot of animals out that Jonathan and I hadn't seen outside yet (like the zebras and camels who were usually hiding in their enclosures). Spring has also brought the arrival of many little zoo animal babies which was very cute. A couple of the squirrel monkeys had tiny little babies sleeping on their backs. We also saw some pretty cute little piglets running around in the mud.

This trip to the zoo was also the first time I had seen the Grizzly Bear....who was probably sleeping the winter away until recently. But she was out yesterday and having a jolly good time playing around. She had some brown paper that she was playing with and it was pretty entertaining. You can also check the video out to see her somersaults. Just a quick note about the video....the lady standing beside me was giving her kid the whole run-down about how this bear ended up at the Vancouver Zoo.
