Maverick has been selected to participate in the Junior Advisory Council for the Philadelphia Zoo, so Jake and Cass and I trekked up to Philly on Saturday for some facetime with the animals.
Philadelphia Zoo in Winter

Want to know the best thing about the zoo after 40 inches of snow? NO HUMANS. At least, not so many that you feel obligated to catch glimpses of things and then move on so someone else can get their turn. Nope, you can sit and take purty pictures to your heart’s content.
Here are some of my favorites; more to come.
Captions are just what popped into my head so proceed with caution.

@Margie G: Thanks!
