era Goes to the Zoo

We took era to the Zoo today. The Calgary Zoo. He loved it. And why wouldn't he?

i was excited to show him the African animals that i had seen on safari.



This is arguably closer than i have ever gotten to a lion in the wild. (The fence does wonders for one's cavalier disregard for personal safety)


Era enjoyed watching the elephants... a lot. For a long time. (Does that elephant have aluminum tipped grills?)


It's hard to argue with the boy when he likes the red panda. That is a cute beast.


The ring tail Lemur was a hit too, era likey!


Here you see dad bravely helping era sneak up on some wild game. Vicious beasts in the wild; (ducks)
What? what?


/i probably should have wore a yellow hat (implying that era is the monkey)
