Zoo Trip!

We took Abby to the Philadelphia Zoo today on our day off.  It is a gorgeous zoo!  Sorry Baltimore, but it beats the pants off your zoo! One of the coolest things is that they have these overhead walkways all over the zoo for animals to use...so tigers can be over your head!  It's pretty neat.   This is part of a street mural before you walk into the zoo. There were tons of primates--more than I have ever seen at a zoo!  They were in various habitats too, which was cool.   There were free-roaming peacocks all over. We walked right up to this one! We let Abby ride the carousel, which was made up of all different endangered rainforest species.  She was on a butterfly.   Before our carousel ride They had an awesome avian exhibit that allowed birds to fly overhead.  Abby loved it!! We got to watch a zookeeper feed these little guys some lettuce.   The magnolia trees were absolutely beautiful! Abby picked out a new friend, a red panda she named Mia. :) It was such a good day!  We all ha
