A trip to the zoo

We decided to take a trip to the zoo last week before it got too late in the season for us. When I asked the Boss what he thought he would see at the zoo, his reply was "elephants" and "meerkats." Meerkats? Where does that come from. Anyway, it was a cool day, the animals were all very cooperative - pacing around in their domiciles instead of laying around and hiding. The penguins were being fed and swimming. It was all great fun. And we saw meerkats! And the Boss - not so impressed. Of course, they are right next to the HUGE snakes and the porcupines, so I guess it's hard for a two-year-old to focus. The highlight of the zoo? The big round wet globe fountain. Of course. Are we supposed to go to the zoo for the animals? Then they shouldn't put that fabulous globe thing right front and center - it's obviously the focal point and the whole reason we go to the zoo.
