The Como Zoo

This is the wonderful thing about where we live. There are parks everywhere and they are all different and unique. The Como park is just a few minutes away from our house and it is huge! It has its own lake, a golf course,a little amusement park, and a zoo and conservatory, along with the regular park stuff :) Noelle and I went to the zoo yesterday with some of the other APX wives and she slept through most of it, but I had a blast! I haven't been to a zoo in ages and it was just a little one, but it was so much fun. They had a primate house with some of the neatest little monkeys I have ever seen (sorry the pics of those didn't turn out). They also had lions and tigers and snow leopards, cougars, zebras and giraffes and his really cool looking deer from africa called a kudu. They also had a giant tortiose and an aquarium with all kinds of fish, penguins, and seals and sea lions. And they had a new part that was a "rain forest" with tropical fish and snakes and bugs, all in a big room full of tropical plants. There was a sloth in there too and he was grooming himself, making sure to look good for all the crowds :)

Lazy Lions. There were two more inside that you could see a lot closer. Lions are big!

Our buddy the giraffe. I felt bad that most of the animals couldn't go outside yet because the temp here doesn't stay above 50 degrees all the time. They are all still cooped up insideGrumpy Gorilla. Yeah, I wouldn't mess with him if I were you.
