Wednesday started with a bang. And by bang, we mean Paul throwing up. Luckily, he had only eaten some fruit loops and drank some water, so his vomitus was both colorful and easy to clean up.
He felt better immediately, as evidenced by bouncing around on the bed and his brother.
Good morning, Joss!
We decided to proceed with out plans to visit the
Zoo while Safta and Joss had a lazy day back at the hotel.
We saw otters and seals. . .
. . .a polar bear, who "washed" his paws before eating. . .
. . .a moose scratching his own tushie with his antlers. . .
. . .and another moose embarrassed by his friend and hiding in the tall grass.
Paul sang them "The Moose" song.
We saw a lady bug. . .
. . .funky mushrooms. . .
. . .a yak. . .
. . .and porcupines, which are absolutely adorable.
We saw a caribou,
who did not offer us coffee, much to Mommy's dismay. . .
. . .and a reindeer. Reindeer are domesticated caribou, and caribou are wild reindeer.
After lunch at the cafe, Paul was getting a little tired.
Still, we pressed on; we had to see the bears!
And then it seemed to be naptime at the zoo.
Snow Leopard, sleeping.
Wolf, sleeping.
Paul, sleeping.
Tiger, just waking up.
Stalking through his habitat, silent and majestic. . .
. . .to play with a red rubber ball like a house kitty!
We watched an artic fox teasing the heck out of a sleeping red fox. . .
We found this very funny.
The best thing about this zoo is that almost all the animals are rescues - abandoned pups, birds with damaged wings, etc. We had a wonderful time.
