nice day to the zoo

i never felt comfortable with the idea of putting animals in cages, but now that we have a child we couldn't resist the idea of bringing her to the zoo. she is so fascinated by all the animals from her big collection of books, that we just had to show her in real!
we were actually very pleasantly surprised by the care the animals are given, and the room they have. this place is huge! and we had so much luck to see the hippos right at their lunch time! and many other key moments like the penguins swimming at high speed and the infectious laugh of the kookaburras!
