in which we take Papa and Aahma to the zoo...

it was cold out, so a number of the animals were inside in their "winter homes"...

...while other animals were the most active and playful that we have ever seen them!  seriously, those bison were running laps - one of the craziest things we have ever seen

Grace was in the midst of a study on Native Americans at school and just finished a section on the importance of the buffalo - so she was super excited to see these at the zoo and take back the video of them running laps to the classroom.

the conservatory was a great place to warm up and enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers

(I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids...=)
