A winter trip to the zoo

It was VERY cold out, but we knew that the crowds would be minimal when we were able to park right next to the entrance.

Sam got to sign to this Siamang. He asked him if he wanted cookies and then told him that he loved him. The animal just stared back at him. But Sam was pretty excited to get a picture with the monkey anyway.
Sam has started counting a lot of things. He tried counting the fish, but got frustrated when they started to swim around. He can actually count backwards better than forwards. Not sure what that means...
This bear had me cracking up. So much personality.
It was COLD. So of course the penguins were more active than any of the other animals. But, we saw a lot of cool things despite the low temps. We heard the lion roar, we go to pet goats, witness a porcupine fight and even saw a gorilla eat her regurgitated food (over and over again). Mmmm...
All in all it was a really fun adventure. Luckily the gift shop had some gloves so that we could keep warm on this blustery day!

Sam, all bundled up in the "big boat."
Just wondering, do you know anyone that goes to the zoo as much as we do?

I'm thinking we should probably get a yearly pass...

You do actually go to the zoo more than anyone I know. But it's great, I mean, at least you're not going to an arcade or something lame.
