The big family visit continues. Today eight of us, including the four kids, went to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. I was delighted by the opportunity since it has been a few years since I had been there. We did all the usual things; saw the giraffes and monkey island, and rode the sky way. The only wildlife I spotted from the air was geese, not really thrilling. Later we patted the sting rays and saw the aquarium and saw a big tiger from a distance. It seems that tigers, like house cats really do sleep 22 hours a day. Since it was a warm summer day lots of the animals were snoozing under trees and bushes, making them hard to see. I couldn't blame them. About half way around the Zoo, i was ready for a nap. I must say I was really pleased with how many of the walkways were shady and very comfortable for walking. We did get to see the giraffes being fed and also the otters, who did some fancy diving for their food. We saw the penguins of course, and rode the train and also the river ride, which several of us liked best. Lots of fun but no surprises (except how little those hard wooden train seats are). But we did get good views of the new red pandas. There are two kinds and they are both very cute and larger than I expected. All in all, a fun trip back to the Zoo.
