Last week was probably our last free SF Resident Day at the Zoo! We have a lot of memories at that place, including some traumatic ones:
the sheep-kick of 2008...
the sheep-kick of 2008...
the goose-honk of 2010...
...and the preying lion, also of 2010.
The penguins were by far Addi's favorite. I kept trying to get her interested in seeing something else, but as soon as she took two steps away, she immediately went back to them. ("Dey're in water, honey!" "Look at dis guy, honey!") Her cuteness and persistence paid off, and we ended up staying there for a half hour, including feeding time, which was very cool!
The zoo grounds were covered in huge, gorgeous blooming hydrangea bushes.
Evelyn still has a mild obsession with flamingos, so obviously we couldn't miss them. Her two favorite toys are both flamingos, one of which she named "Mango, the Flamango"

Evelyn is so brave. This picture just gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Evelyn and Addi compared owls at the zoo, and decided that this one was the nice "cutie" owl...
...and this was the "mean" owl.
Thank you for all the free fun times, SF Zoo!
