Yesterday Liesl and I went to the Zoo for the first time this year. Everyone was active. We only spent about two hours there since we had to get back for mommy who was off work early. Before going to the Zoo Liesl and I brought mommy a picnic lunch to work and we sat outside and ate. We arrived at the Zoo about 1PM. Our first stop was the Butterfly house(my favorite of course). Liesl seemed to enjoy the butterflies flitting about and comenting on when and where she saw them by saying fly, fly. We then walked through the aviary and she pointed out the birds as we went through.
Next stop was the polar bear exhibit. I was dissapointed that the polar bears were not swimming about but there was plenty of activity from the seals. Lies enjoyed watching them swim around and over us. She sat on the ledge and pointed whenever she spotted one coming or going. She was especially interested in the blind seal who didn't move around much but stayed in one spot. He was not in his usual spot in front of the water flow but on the opposite side of the tank.
We then walked to the Giraffes and Zebras. She was interested but not very vocal about these animals. We tried to get in to see the Kangaroos but the entrance was closed. Next stop was the lions who were walking about. Liesl proceeded to growl like a lion as she does so many times when seeing pictures. This went on for quite a while and she did not want to leave until I promised her we were going to see the tigers and monkeys. The tigers were not as active. One was sleeping and the other sat very regally on the edge of the exhibit. The Chimps were also lazing around in the building just laying near the window to catch some sun.
The red pandas were active. This is the first time I have seen them both out together and interacting.
