A day at the Zoo with Jake

Today Jake and I went to the Hogle Zoo.  Just the two of us.  It was really fun to see how they changed the area they call Rocky Shores.
 
We hurried and got to the zoo just in time to see their Elephant encounter show.  It was fun.  They were spraying the elephants with a hose.  The baby elephant loved the water.

kind of weird to see birds wondering around.
guess he feels safe since Thanksgiving is a few months away.


 
Gorilla is eating an empty toilet paper roll.  The area was full of empty cardboard rolls.  They seemed to enjoy eating them and tearing them apart
