zoo trip

My favorite picture of the day...  Mark the holder (I was the waddler), and Mont the expeditionist:

Spring is coming! The snow was melting, and the ground was a little slushy.

 Even still, there are some remnants from a peaceful winter:

Mont laughed at most of the animals we saw. Here he was laughing at the big brown grizzlies (not hibernating! - I think they're waking up all over, the blacks were still sleeping). I love how chubby he looks here with his red chilly cheeks:

He got to pet a donkey, hear a turkey gobble, watch a polar bear play in the water (looked cuddly until you realized it was nearly touching the bottom of a 20' pool!), see tigers napping, wolves napping in the sun, a wolverine running, linx jumping, and eagles warming (with space heaters!). It was a great zoo trip last weekend.

Today.. we took it easy.
