Hour at the Zoo



(Carrie) In honor of Tucson's birthday yesterday, the zoo had free admission. I decided to see what the local zoo was like and went by myself for an hour after work. It was a very small, but nice zoo to walk around. Because it was so warm outside, alot of the animals were in their "residence" and out of sight. I saw all of the exhibits and then went around to see a some a second time within that hour. Charles surprised me by meeting me in the zoo parking lot after and taking me out to dinner at our favorite Ethiopian restaurant. It was a fun afternoon!



Look at that long giraffe tongue!


A cute animal (I don't remember the name) in the South American exhibit.


I got alot of dust in my eyes as I watched the elephants try to cool off by blowing dust and grass onto their backs. Notice all of the grass on this elephant.

I haven't been to a zoo in a LONG time, it looks like you had a lot of fun. Ethiopian food sounds so good to me right now, yummy!

That is cool you got to go for free! Those poor animals were probably so hot. Ethiopian foods sounds very interesting.
