One Last Trip to the Zoo

MelodyJoy has been asking to go to the zoo again. Since the weather was gorgeous (around 85 degrees) and today was the last day of the zoo's 2008 season, meaning it was the last day we could use our season pass, Jeannette and I decided to take her one last time.
It was pretty much just a mellow time, strolling around. Having visited the zoo many times in the last four months, there's not a whole lot new for us to observe. I didn't get a picture of it but the tiger was pacing back and forth directly in front of the viewing window, literally only three or four feet from where Melody was watching. As he turned around, he would eye Melody. Perhaps he was hungry.

We saw several people who we knew and also had a couple who stopped us by saying "Ni Hao" as we walked past them ("Hello" in Chinese). They had a 7-year-old and an almost-5-year-old with them, both adopted from China. The older girl came up to Melody and said, "I'm from China, too!" While we talked, the three girls occupied themselves by picking up leaves that were flooding down from the tree tops.

None of the boys came with us, so we found this look-a-like to have our picture taken. I'll let you decide which boy he most looks like . . .
