Day at the Zoo
My parents and sister came up for the weekend, so we went sightseeing. First we went to the Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride. Then we went to the Buffalo Zoo.
Aaron thought the zookeepers gave all the animals warm milk before we got there
because most of them were snoozing in the sun. We still got a good look at the
lions, bears, elephants and whatnot. Dad looked like he was on safari with his
new hat.
There were two particularly funny incidents. The first was when we went into
the bird complex and were ambushed. The birds looked so cute and colorful sitting
on the handrail. Next thing we knew they were crawling on our shoulders, nibbling
on our ears. Felt like a Hitchcock film. 
The other thing was watching the elephants trying to eat the trees on the other
side of a fence they couldn't reach over. One particularly clever elephant went
and got his ball and rolled it over to the fence so he could stand on it and
reach the yummy leaves. Other than the bird attack we had a pretty good day
at the zoo.
