The Zoo - Part 1 - Large & Lumbering

Last week, Zach made his first trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. Needless to say, he loved it.

The first big hit for Zach were the giant tortoises. I don't know what drew him to them, but they were clearly among his favorite animals of the day. The fact that the tortoises were lumbering around quite a bit probably had something to do with it.

Speaking of lumbering animals, the hippos were next animals we saw. To Zach's delight and wonder they were waddling their way towards us. He didn't quite know what to think.

We were fortunate enough to see the elephants. I say fortunate because, sometime this fall, the elephants are moving to a bigger habitat across the state in the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Check back to see what Zach is pointing at.
