The Zoo!

Don took Monday off to hang out with Connor and I. Since he was in Germany the previous week, it was a real treat to spend the day with him. We decided to chance the clouds and head to the zoo. Although it was a bit chilly, the zoo was a perfect choice. There were not many people there, and most of the animals were out to play - except the bears....AGAIN (they were not out last time either). I guess I am going to have to go to Alaska if I want to see any bears. Anyways, one the coolest things were the cougars! They were on the prowl in their exhibit. However, they were upstaged by Sam, the new baby elephant. He was soooo dang cute! Oh, to watch him with his momma was the sweetest thing! It was really precious. Connor had a great time. Although he was clearly frustrated at Dad for not giving him a bit of his elephant ear! Connor, you will have plenty of time for elephant ears when you are older!
