Day Eighteen - Year Two

Zoo day!  We headed to Swope Park to check out the Kansas City Zoo.  It was a balmy 95 degrees outside today, so the animals were all hiding in the shade, as we wished we were doing.  :)

It was a pretty big zoo, though, and we didn't get to tour it all.  We watched a really cool bird show and had the opportunity to see a few birds we had not seen before.  A skyride over the Africa exhibit allowed us to get a bird's eye view of most of the animals hiding in the shade.  The best was the baby giraffe - precious!  She had to be pretty new because she was a mere seven feet tall!  Her mom was really protective, too.


Their polar bear exhibit was beautiful, but we didn't get to see the polar bear playing around.  He is reknowned for being a real ham, but our timing was off and the heat really drove him inside.  We got plenty of exercise walking around, so we had a good day!
