A Visit to the Toledo Zoo

Hi all!  As a field trip, Elizabeth and I went to the Toledo zoo yesterday.

 We started on north (bottom) side, in the Arctic Encounter.

"Where are the seals?" I asked.

"Be patient.  You'll see them in a minuet." my sister told me.

 "Good, there one is." I said, snapping a picture.

 The polar bear cubs were very entertaining.  I was standing with my back to the thick glass when Elizabeth suddenly pointed behind me.
"He's right behind you!" she said.  I screamed, and jumped back, only to remember that the polar bear was on the other side of the wall.

Next we stopped at the Africa exhibit.

 Where we rode a educational train ride.

 On our ride, an ostrich walked right next to the fence, when Elizabeth snapped this great picture.

The train ticket included a ride on the carousel.

But instead of boring horses, this zoo carousel let you ride upon many different animals.  I chose the zebra.

We headed to the opposite side of the zoo.

"Smile, Chrissa." Elizabeth encouraged as she raised out camera to her eyes to take a picture.  "It's not working."  Checking the battery power, Elizabeth found that the battery was dead.

"It's dead?" I asked.

"Dead as a doorknob dead." my sister replied, her smile gone.

"We haven't charged the battery for a while." I said. "I should have checked it before we left." I added sadly.  Even though we were without camera battery, Elizabeth and I still had a great time at the Toledo Zoo.

Do you like zoos?
