Philadelphia Zoo

Katie and I met my parents at the Philadelphia Zoo a few weeks ago. We went mid-week so it wasn't crowded but it was hot. Thankfully the zoo is fairly shaded so it wasn't too bad. Katie was a little cranky - she was hot and tired from a bad nights sleep - and she kept asking about going on rides.
The rhino was actually up and moving around - which was nice to see. Boy is he a big guy.

These little frogs were so small and cute. They would just hang on the bottom of the leaves - at first we thought the exhibit was closed until Katie spotted them on the leaves.

The baby giraffe was out - very cute following her mom very closely

Huge gorillas - this one is just chilling in her food bowl.

They still had the Lego exhibit going on. It was pretty amazing and life-like.

Penguins

Monkeys

Finally - the rides. The carousel was gorgeous.
