The Philadelphia Zoo . . . in November.

On one of the kids' days off, we took advantage of out membership to the zoo.

Still blooming.  Beautiful.

Still smiling. Precious.

I love the knobby legs.

I made sure to see the primates.  Missed getting a photo of a new mother gibbon swinging around with her tiny baby holding on to her belly.  But I got this guy having an afternoon snack.

This guy's back end looked a lot like its front end.  When it started walking, I half expected to see eyes on both ends.

Isn't it a bit disturbing? 
(This is a photo I found on the internet.)  

Ellie is posing with an alligator snapping turtle.  She waited and waited for it to snap.  She was disappointed.  

A green frog.  Always need a photo of a frog.

Here's Klondike.  She finally was out after our third trip past her enclosure.

Pay attention.  You might need to be able to identify a cat at some point.
