I wasn't actually selected as a chaperone, but some friends were planning to drive down and meet up with their kids. It looked like the weather was going to be nice and I knew Kardynn would probably enjoy it so we joined them. We arrived about an hour before the buses did so we had some time to wander around and see some animals before the kids arrived.
Visiting the zoo is always special for me because I get to see the animals of my childhood. We could see this elephant was visible from the Asia Trail Overlook.
I wish there was some exciting background for a good elephant silhouette, but no such luck.
I was hoping to see orangutangs on their wire but I guess I'll have to keep going back.
We saw this gorilla pee into it's hand and then drink it. Lovely.
I was glad that we got to see the pandas earlier in the morning, while they were playing.
The zookeepers have given this lemur a stuffed animal to keep him company, until they can get a real live friend. Apparently he loves to groom his little friend. So cute!
We were delighted to take a shuttle from Lot E to Lot A! The kids were definitely done so we were happy to save that mile of walking!

Your elephant pic with his legs raised is CRAZY cool! Lots of great shots. Looks like you got to see a lot of the Pandas too - very cool. Interesting about the Gorilla... wonder why he would do that? Hm...
Love the pics! Thanks for sharing :) Anthony was so excited to see the elephant do 'the tricks' and write about it in his school assignment.
Kiersten wrote about that too...in her rabbit report! :)
I haven't been to the zoo in ages! Andrew says he hates it, and I just don't get organized enough to plan a zoo day. But I really loved your photos and it makes me want to take my younger two while the older two are dealing with the end of school. Hmmm ...
Gross about the gorilla peeing! And what was the elephant doing? It looks like it's trying to step through the wires of the fence. Ha ha ha.
