Trip to the Zoo

We have a free community zoo in Madison, and today was beautiful (when we left) so I took Cecilia to see it. I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised at how extensive the zoo was! A lot of animals were indoors (they have several buildings too), but we walked outside and saw giraffes, polar bears, brown bears, black bears, a Tiger, otters, penguins, camels, an osterich and its egg, bison, and a lot of monkeys (sorry Allison - primates?). We went inside the PRIMATE house, and saw chimps and orangutans. We had to leave the stroller outside, however, so we only went inside one place. I took a picture of Celia in a polar bear cutout (cute!) and I also took a picture of the solar panel. You don't see many of those sitting in the middle of the zoo.


I got video in a few places, although it was just me so pardon the videography. Celia was interested in things at times, particularly the giraffes, but she got more tired as the day went on (her afternoon nap wasn't long enough). After the zoo, we picked Daddy up at work and went for a nice family dinner at The Great Dane (boy, we'll miss that place). It was a wonderful afternoon!

This video is of us and the polar bears.

This video is of us and the brown bears.

This video is of us and the otters. She really enjoyed the otters. You can't tell as much on the video, but the otters made her babble a lot.
