Sunday Zoo Visit

Late yesterday afternoon we headed over to the Dakota Zoo for a visit. We were planning to do some swimming at the YMCA, but when we called we found out open swimming only had about 1/2 hour left. Definitely not enough time to drive way up there and still swim.

Mr. Peacock was giving us a good show today.

Hi. How are you? Welcome back. You don't have any food? See you later.

Hey, wait for me! I had gone into the stinky little monkey (marmoset and so on) building to have a look. Those little dudes are so darn cute. The rest of the family doesn't like to go in there because of the smell. It does take your breath away, but I think the strongest odor is from the cedar chips used in the bottom of the enclosures.

Several of the prairie dogs were lounging like this - warming up in the afternoon sun.

Donovan could barely stand to keep his hand there long enough for the goat to get all of the corn. The nibbling lips do feel funny in your palm.
