It's A Zoo Out There

On a rainy Canada Day in Alaska we went to the zoo. The Alaska Zoo seems a bit special to me. They have a clinically depressed elephant named Maggie, and crows & magpies as part of their display. Huh?!?

Avery jumped right in with the map & took over as navigator. Good thing Julie was around to help the process (I'm so proud, I LOVE maps)
The black bears were play-fighting for us
The grizzlies & the polar bears were too lazy to perform (hey, check out those claws, though)Jamie & Kim were looking at something -- the camera!The alpacas had just been sheared

Naps on the ride home -- and yes, Avery did sleep like that for almost the entire 40 minutes
