The Bowers First Official Trip to the Zoo

 

Allison declared that this is the first official Bowers Family trip to the zoo, since it is the first time they were all together.  Lanie  has her best happy on.

 

"I wanta hippopotamus for Christmas..."

  Zebras -                                                                   

Are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

  Dwarf mongoose

Are they big enough to kill cobras? Or do they just kill baby cobras?

  Elephants

I think they are Asian - hahaha!

   

"More animals please."

 

These guys are really, really tall.

    

The penguins gave me a shower.  At least it wasn't like the whale at Sea World in San Fransico - remember that Allison?

 

We walked through the butterfly house.

  

 The lion graced us when he sat up for about 30 seconds before falling back over to continue his nap.

 

Lanie also had to have a nap about the same time.

 

The cheeta was also napping.

  The zoo trip ended by seeing the cutter ants.  They were busy, busy cutting leaves and taking them over several back and forth bamboo rods to get to their nest.  A man was working at the table where the ants were located and when one got off track he put it back on rod. Hope they give them lots of plants in that area to "cut" everyday!
