A Day at the Zoo with Peter

As many of you know, Peter would rather be at the zoo than just about anywhere else.  Today was one of those rare days where it was clear that we would both be happier if we got out of the house and did something different.  Fortunately, the calendar was open, so we headed to the zoo.

Lots of fun to see the baby geese.

This little monkey was fascinated with Peter (I think the feeling was mutual,) and was right up at the window like that the whole time we were there.
Somehow, we showed up when lots of the animals were being fed.  The baby elephant is always a favorite destination.
 Who knew that elephants loved strawberries and clementines so much?  Of course, they eat them peels, stems and all.  Yum.

We got an up close and personal view of several of the animals this time.
It just so happened that Megan was doing her kindergarten report on ostriches, so  we had to stop and get a picture of them for her.
In addition to riding both the train and the carousel (he is so spoiled!),

the zoo trip isn't complete without throwing a coin into the fountain.  This was one happy kid.
