Philadelphia Zoo in Winter

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

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.

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.

Stanley looked cool & detached,
but then, penguins often do.

    @Danielle: Let's see a link :)

    @Stephanie: Hi Stephanie, how are you? The desert animals were all inside, so we didn't see any of them. The polar bear, pelicans, and the penguins were really active. Generally in summer all of the animals are just sleeping… everything that was out was moving around. It was a more enjoyable experience overall in spite of the COLD!

    @Margie G: Thanks!
