The Philadelphia Zoo

And then I took the kids to "America's First Zoo," otherwise known as the Philadelphia Zoo.

The best animals were in the Rare Animal Conservation Center.

Golden Lion Tamarin

Blue-eyed Lemur

Giant Elephant Shrew

Black & White Colobus Monkey

Pied Tamarin

Mongoose Lemur

Emu

We found a giant cobra statue in the reptile house.



Lex tried to catch a peacock.



I took the boys on the swan paddle boats.  It was a lot of work for me.

Bald Eagle

Another peacock that Lex tried to catch.

Giraffe

Zebra

Polar Bear

"I'm making the same face that bear is making."

When Connor saw this, he said, "What kind of pig are you?"

It was an aardvark.  And some meerkats.

The kids really liked this zoo.  It was a good size.  There were a ton of animals, but they weren't spaced out too far apart.
