We'll have to go back and take pictures here at these horseshoe-like sculptures...
We all have PaPa's love of birds in us and it's evident here as Gracie took all of these herself...this one looks like a resin parrot that Mom just brought us to put on our patio for our "It's five o'clock somewhere" motto :)
Always a favorite...their flock of flamingoes never fails to take my breath away.
Thankfully, I sent along the umbrella stroller because on the train ride...yes, the very first thing they did even before entering the zoo...Gracie lost her shoe and didn't say anything to Mom until the ride was over...she's Shoeless Joe and had the dirty foot to prove it!
Gracie got to see the two new baby giraffes...she thought they were super cool!
...and so was the big cheetah...
But, Mom said that where she spent the most time, with the exception of the birds, was with the meerkats. Even though they are really a member of the mongoose family, Gracie thought they looked like monkeys...and this is a good thing because in their fervency to get out of the zoo crowds, they missed the monkey section - another of Gracie's favorites...but another reason to take her back soon, too! :)
It looks like Marmie made up for it with an ice cream and a tube full of little plastic sea creatures...to go along with her other little animals that she builds homes for with her magnets...not a bad day at all!
They topped the day off with a visit with Aunt Kathleen and Aunt Mary - like I said, couldn't have been a better ending to her week off!
