Labor Day Weekend - ABQ Zoo

Yesterday, along with a lot of Los Alamos, we went to the Albuquerque to visit the Zoo. When Elizabeth found out we were going to the zoo she let out a shrill that sounded more like she was hurt than happy. Her favorite part of the zoo was the elephants as she has repeatedly told us since then.



Emily self-portrait. She is just pensive.









Bird woman. Gwen spent almost her whole time with the birds trying to get one to crawl out on her arm. :)








Emily was just tall enough to feed the birds easily. Lorikeets from Oz if I remember correctly.










Hard to see the seal swimming behind Elizabeth. Just a shadow behind her head.












Looking at the giraffes.










Riding the train through the park. Turns out to be one of the few reliefs from the heat yesterday. I know it was not real hot but hot enough to keep me thirsty and sweating. Maybe 100F at best. The train ride was nice.





Elizabeth was so excited to see the polar bears that she went to the zoo store and bought a stuffed one. On the way home she asked us if it was ok to name a bear "Elizabeth?" We thought it was a great name and said yes. :)






We have a job perfect for Joe Schmidt. He will not even need a new uniform. :)
