Today for the first time, we as a family took the opportunity to go to the Quito Zoo in Guayllabamba and it was a really fun outing for us with the kids.
Simon was the official tour guide - map and all. We saw lots o' cool things!
monkeys...
Tortugas (he was ready and waiting with a smile for us)
"Giddyup there Mister Turtle!"
These guys were Simons favorites...not sure what they were but this is a baby nursing.
Is this a warthog? All I know is that I have been singing the "When I was a young warthog" song all afternoon. (From the Lion King, in case you're not familiar with that catchy toon ;))
As usual I was struck by the beauty of this country...
A view along the walking path...
A big ugly buzzard
Love these trees - actually took a video of the flowers swaying in the breeze.
Simon and Ana braving the Sabor Toothed Tiger!
Time to go - this is the entrance and exit view -
pretty spectacular backdrop, don't you think?
Thanks for the tour Bud - you did great!
