A Visit to the Calgary Zoo



A day at the zoo in another city and it was wonderful. The Zoo is huge and we began the day looking at the local species that we might see in the National Park System in Banff and Jasper. We first saw elk, Bison - daddy's favorite animal, Bighorn Sheep, porcupines named Pins and Needles, a black bear that was rescued from the wild due to its friendly nature with the tourists.

According to the kids, the playground and ice cream were the highlights. Mom did see some interesting stuff when viewing the hippos swimming in their absolutely beautiful habitiat. When we get a chance to post video, you can check out what Kyle saw on that fun day. A quick nap for Laura in one of the rented wagons, and the other two wanted to have a ride as well so mom and dad were soon relegated to "horse" duty.
