Someone Told Me It's All Happening At the Zoo

It turns out that KC has a pretty darn good zoo. When Jean's parents were here earlier this month, we took Adam to the zoo for the day. Of course, he's not old enough to get much of anything out of the experience, but it was a good excuse for us to check out the zoo and to get the heck out of the house for a while on a surprisingly nice day (low 80s, not humid).

Little did we realize that the KC zoo is downright huge, so we didn't even see the whole thing. We had to skip the Australia section because the Africa portion took up the whole afternoon.

So, if you happen to be in the area (HINT, HINT) and you have kids who might be interested (HINT, HINT) or you might be interested (HINT, HINT), we might be persuaded to go back.

The KC zoo has a baby zebra.

Though he wasn't interested in a lot of what the zoo had to offer, he did get quite a kick out of...

Lemurs! They were playing right in front of him, and he watched for quite a while. There also are a number of places to sit in rocking chairs and rest. We were not shy about using them.
