Flamingos, Reindeer, and Meerkats--Oh My!

We've been meaning to visit the L.A. Zoo for a while now, and we finally decided that today was the day. Single-day passes would cost $34 for our family (two adults and one child - Daniel's free cuz he's under 2), but we discovered that we could get a year-long family pass for a mere $75. If we go even two more times this year, the pass will have paid for itself. Plus, we won't feel pressured to see everything in one day.

We barely covered a third of the exhibits today, but we saw a lot of fun things.

There were flamingos . . .

. . . reindeer (taking it easy after their big night last week) . . .

. . . and some meerkats checking out all the funny-looking humans.

My favorite thing was this fun exhibit, where you could pop up out of the ground and get a close-up look at the prairie dogs. Awww . . . aren't they cute?

Almost as cute as this guy.
