Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh My!

Bubeaner visited the zoo for the first time today.  We had a great, though tiring day.  And we were thrilled that Dad was able to join us for this 1st for Bubeaner.  Well he did have to work in the morning, but, thankfully, he was able to do it from home.

This is where Bubeaner finally woke up.

(I just LOVE the red beard.)

He was lathered in sunblock (twice) just to be sure.

Bubeaner was intrigued by the horses, the elephants and the parrots.  The flamingos & penguins drew his attention for a little while too.  But mainly he was interested in the shrieking little girls.  Granted it was a little difficult to tune the screams out.

He was distracted by the shrieking little girl next to us.

Thankfully, the weather cooperated too with a mild warm day (80s), cool breezes, and clouds protecting us from the sun's heat.  We did not stay too long to avoid overtiring Bubeaner.  Still we were all worn out by the end of the trip and recuperated with a nice little nap.

Zonked out at the end of the day.
