Patrick was surprised at how big the claws were on the bear. "Big bone claws" he called them. There were two swans chattering as they searched for food. They made a lot of noise when the Canada Geese were visiting their area.
There were not many people at the zoo and we got right in to see the baby elephant. We got to watch it walk around with its mother. It was born last year a week before Joslin was born!
The tiger was showing off too and was walking back and forth in front of the glass. Patrick and Joslin both enjoyed watching it.
We stopped for lunch outside the Asian Quest area. We were joined by a Canada goose and two mallards looking for handout.
Joslin enjoyed watching the fish and the manatees. They were actually feeding the manatees when we got there. They were dropping large pipes in the water with heads of lettuce sticking out one side.

The merry-go-round. Patrick opted for the bench seat.
This kangaroo was soaking up the sun right next to the trail. We got a nice close up look!
The gorillas... Patrick had a fabulous time watching the gorillas. There was one young gorilla that was really showing off and all the kids were laughing at him. The little gorilla would climb up on a branch and then jump off and slap the glass on his way down. Then he would climb on his rope swing and sway back and forth, back and forth. Then he would climb on his branch and start the whole thing over again.
