We had a great day at the Detroit Zoo!\u00a0 Perfect weather and many of the animals seemed to appreciate the cooler temperatures and were out roaming.\u00a0 I have been to the zoo so many times and have never seen the 2 rhinos so active.\u00a0 The penguins are always a hit as they swim past at such speeds and the 3 new baby chicks were so tiny!\u00a0 The giraffes, one of my favorites,\u00a0 were enjoying lunch and sneaking the branch of leaves from the handler.\u00a0 The seals and polar bears were enjoying the water, the flamingos looked beautiful in pink, and the snakes looked comfy in their “rooms.”<\/p>\n

I think the most enjoyable showing was “Baby Jane,” the new chimp born mid-summer.\u00a0 We got to see her mother cradling her, even Mom turning her back against the wind to shelter her baby.\u00a0 we saw another mother carrying her baby too.<\/p>\n

Such a wonderful day.\u00a0 Thanks to all of the parent chaperones.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did with the kids.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few quick pictures…<\/p>\n

Dad is close by napping.\u00a0 Mom is holding Baby Jane.<\/p>\n

Look very closely on Mom’s right side and you will see a very small hand.\u00a0 That’s Baby Jane being sheltered from the wind by her Mom.<\/p>\n
