hodgepodge

we're going to the zoo today, we're going to the zoo...

The girls received excellent marks this term on their report cards (all A's for the both of them) so as a treat we took them yesterday to the zoo. (I was sick and barely survived the outing as it was 3 below...). Our town has a small zoo walking distance from our house. It is quite nice and soon will be even better as they are this year finishing an African Exposition complete with tigers and the like. I hadn't been in a while and they have many new exhibits, including lemurs and other monkey-type products. We got to see the poor flamingoes all mushed into a glass enclosure as the lake they call home is frozen. We got to see mini tamarind monkeys behaving in a hostile manner towards us. A wolf howled. That was cool. And the zoo looks pretty under snow. Then we treated the girls to lunch at the zoo restaurant.
