Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh My!

Today I finally took a day off from work to enjoy a day at the Philadelphia Zoo with my two best friends, Jessica & Lynn, and their kids. Lynn is a memebr of the zoo and got us all (all 7 of us) in for free-you ROCK Lynn! We had a great time seeing the animals, getting some exercise by walking all over the zoo, watching the kids enjoy the zoo and seeing the Philly skyline 400 feet up in the air in the Zoo Balloon!

The required fountain photo
(a security man on one of those things you stand on and ride chased the kids from the fountain ledge..... who knew after all these years that you are not allowd to sit on the ledge??)


The Tortises
(at least this time they were "G" rated-last time I was at the zoo, it was definately "R" rated, maybe even "X"...... 'nough said)


Luke Duke.... the cutest!!
