A visit to the zoo

Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Christina, and I went to the Tucson Zoo. This was the first time for Aunt Christina and I. The zoo doesn't open until 9am and it was already a little warm when we started our visit. We were surprised to find it to be shadier than we expected. We saw the tiger playing with a big empty garbage can. We saw the elephants getting a bath before walking out to the exhibit. The zebras were playing and the rhinos weren't very active. There were three adorable giraffes that were fun to watch as they used their strong tongues to eat the leaves of of the plants. Throughout the zoo we saw many peacocks. They walked right near us as if they were people too:). The polar bear, Boris, was showing off for us in the pool. I liked seeing the baby ducks and playing in the frog fountain nearby. Aunt Christina and I saw monkeys, lions, otters, and many animals from South America! Most of the animals were camping out in their expect where they could keep cool. In the aviary, I had fun trying to chase the birds that were hanging out on the walkway. After the zoo, it felt great to feel the a/c in the car and cool off. We all went home and took a nice nap. We went to Oregano's for dinner to celebrate Aunt Christina's last night with us! I am sure going to miss her and so will Mommy and Daddy. I have had a blast playing with Aunt Christina these past 5 days! Enjoy the pictures from today!

The peacocks were so close to us on the walkways

Giraffes have such long necks and strong tongues:)

Chasing a bird in the aviary (he never flew away from me, just ran)

Taking a close look with Daddy of this Blue Crowned Pigeon (it's a pretty bird, but it's a pigeon)

Peeking at the otters through the wooden fence. There swimming pool looked inviting!
