I dropped my grandson off at a zoo class today. Then, I did a little wandering in the zoo.
I am still dragging from my end of February virus/pneumonia.
So, I walked to the giraffe building and sat down on a bench to watch them. It was so calm and peaceful. Until I started coughing (their hay, I think). I left because there was a couple trying to enjoy the peace.
I walked to the elephant's building. I got to watch the keepers work with Ruth - inspecting her trunk and her feet. She turned around on command, and they swept the bottoms of her feet, making sure all looked good.
Then Brtittany was let out into the larger area, and she enjoyed some veggies, hay, and water.
I left before Belle came out. It's a slow process, and there's no place to sit down.
The ladies looked healthy and happy. I took my leave of the zoo and have been puttering and napping.
Grandson will be here soon to tell me about his day.

@ldmay65
I used to go to the zoo every weekend with my son for years, until he no longer let me.
He loved the giraffes.
Gonna have to see if I can get him to go once it warms up.
@Waitnwallflower The best time is when it isn't busy. I bet he would like to visit the zoo with you.
@ldmay65 I tried to go early before it got too crowded, especially since I was doing this with those heavy strollers for a while there for some years. Such a wonderful time.
I hope you got wonderful tales of the day.
@ldmay65 Sounds like a brilliant trip Donna!
We’re off to Doncaster Wildlife park today, so thats gonna be a good day out!
Hope you have a decent day Lovely
