So, we are sitting in Kiev AGAIN waiting for our visas to be ready. We decided a day at the Zoo was in order, but unfortunately, we were only 6 that day, since Cady wasn't feeling too well.
Enjoy the pictures and try to spot the differences... Zoos on our side of the world provide other opportunities for entertainment than you find in the States, at least for these Americans :-)
Madi's attempt at a Llama smile.
Mom shows her how it is done.
Ignore the burgundy hair... that is another story for another day...
Not exactly a Burger King, but they do have pancakes and ice cream!
But, they DO NOT want you giving your ice cream to the bison!
They also say NO TEASING the deer!
They suggest it is not a good idea to put your hand in the cheetah's mouth.
Finally, don't climb up the cage, though the wolf looks like he could use a little excitement.
We couldn't figure out what this rhino was sporting on his nose...
I had to include this picture... he is just so handsome...
Handsome or not... he can argue with anybody!
We found most of the animals were cat-napping.
So we raced to see the monkeys... they NEVER sleep!
Though they were awake,this was the saddest part of the day... those monkeys really need a better habitat. But, they are Brookie's favorite and supreme highlight. She feels a kinship, and for those of you who know her well, it is not a surprise!
I really don't know why a face cream would sponsor a Zoo.
Having a little fun on the way to the car.
And then Dad says,"Let's run for it before they try to charge us more for parking!!!" And we were all in the car and driving away in 2 minutes flat! A new record and delighted dad!
