Yesterday was a rare, gorgeous, blue skied day and Ben and I had to make the most of it since we haven't seen too many of those this summer. So we decided it was the perfect day to go to Como zoo. Someday we'll splurge and go to the Minnesota Zoo, but yesterday was there was no better way to spend the day then at Como zoo. There were some gorgeous flowers in bloom and Ben and I couldn't resist snapping some pictures of them.
But by far the best part of the day was the Orangutan habitat. Only one baby had been born this year and he completely stole all the thunder away from the other animals. He put on quite a show for everyone wrestling with his mama and swinging up the ropes trying to 'catch' his father.
All of this was going on while the obese Grandpa sat around glaring at everyone.
Have you ever seen such a large orangutan?
