The zoo wasn't all a big disappointment to Jacob...he loves the Children's Zoo. There are lots of neat things for the kids to climb on and a cool "suspension" bridge that he remembered from last year. I think the coolest thing has to be the Prairie Dog exhibit (aside from the otters, the are always my favorite). There are a bunch of prairie dogs in their dirt habitat just hanging out doing what prairie dogs do and along the back wall you can walk in and see what a prairie dog den looks like from the inside and also crawl through a tunnel and end up at the other side popping up inside the habitat. I have to wonder what the prairie dogs think of this. Is the plexiglass done there to keep them from attacking? Or is it there to keep the kids out of the dirt? Anyway, Jacob had a lot of fun in it and Adam just liked crawling after Jacob and being let loose for a while. I noticed a plaque while I was there that noted the prairie dog exhibit was donated by Ken Lay (Enron CEO) and his wife....very interesting.
