Sigh.
Because she and I were up half the night working through her difficult breathing and deep barky coughs I needed to get out this morning, and the zoo was just the place. Any sane thinking mom would have taken one look outside and declined such an invitation; it was really damp, and cold out. But that combination is just what little E's lungs needed so we bundled in raincoats and boots, and made a quick stop at Lighthouse for some caffeine before the leisurely walk.
There was a special penguin feeding today; live fish. Quite a crowd gathered for the event, it was really fantastic to see them hunting down their prey. One of the birds was especially excited about it's lunch and was in non-stop honking mode. Everyone, including E thought it was pretty amusing, and began mimicking him.
Here are some other sights:
