This morning, we braved the heat and humidity and headed out to the zoo.
Since we were there mid-morning, we got to see the cow milking demonstration. Calli thought it was really cool, but she's a little mixed up. She thinks the cows drink milk, and then the tubes and pipes collect their pee.
We visited the "Farm-in-the-Zoo" and saw the just hatched baby chicks.
Calli and Mari sat in the big tractor. Calli wanted to wear the seat belt, and explained to me that only one person could sit in the seat at a time.
Mari loved crawling back and forth through the big hatching eggs and peaking her head up.
Other highlights included:
* the resting pig, who was pregnant
* the goats
* the gorillas
* the 3 zebras
* the deer with big antlers
* the tiger (we only saw 1 tiger today, and no lions)
** and stopping for a snack of ice cream & a banana inside the air conditioned cafeteria

Hmmmm.... when I think of a trip to the zoo, I don't think of seeing farm animals. ;-)
I love Calli's theory about milking cows... I'll have to tell Leon that one! :-)
Yeah, I tried to explain it - but no success. Maybe when she's older :)
