We took a four-hour trip to the zoo today - avoiding the summer crush by going this week before all the SL schools start their summer vacations. The latest exhibit up there is Madagascar animals - complete with hissing cockroaches and even a fossa! He's the size of a large cat, and looks like an emaciated rottweiler with muscles bulging everywhere and giant fangs that poke out when he yawns. I asked if they ever put lemurs in with him to make the exhibit a little more interesting, but apparently there aren't enough lemurs in captivity to make it doable. Oh well!
There was a downpour in the afternoon so the kids played on the playground that was suddenly deserted (my duckies know how to run through the raindrops and enjoy sprinkles). They had the whole thing to themselves for about 15 minutes until it stopped pelting, then the families who had taken shelter in the gift shop returned. We left it to them and went on the zoo train instead. Choo choo!
