Yesterday was a zoo day with the grands and an extra friend. I figured . . . an overcast Monday would mean a light afternoon crowd. My first indication that this wasn't to be was a glimpse of the overflow parking lots filled with cars. We still ended up in the main parking lot with parking attendants pointing the way to spaces that cars had vacated.
Perhaps Monday is always a busy day, or perhaps Fiona the now-not-so-little hippo has made the zoo a bigger attraction. We did see Fiona swimming with her mom, although her viewing area was crowded. Really crowded.
The joy of having a zoo pass is being able to do popcorn visits, spending a few hours then coming back another day. The train and the sea lion are the big attractions for us, and now Fiona of course. Everything else is just extra.
I tried out the blue soft serve, interesting for once but probably not to be repeated. Nora got a soft drink, Aaron a slushie, and the friend got cotton candy. The zoo snacks aren't crazy expensive, especially with the pass discount.
We admired the new building going up by their mom's work building, near the zoo. Very impressive.
