Boo Zoo

I woke up to blue skies on Labor Day, so I called my wingman K to see what was on our agenda for the day.  We decided an outdoor activity was needed, so we headed over to the zoo to see some animals.  The real attraction was WHO was at the zoo.  Holy shit we are an ugly city.  And we saw some canidates for indydouchebags.com. 

Anyway, we made our way through the zoo to find lots of animals sleeping.  Guess they are done for the season too and aren't interested in entertaining us anymore.  There was one walrus that was hamming it up with the crowd.  He/She kept smashing it's face and rubbing it's body up against the glass as people would walk by.  Some kid yells "I see it's hole."  And on that note, the parents took the kid and left.  K touched a shark.  Probably the coolest part of the trip.

We went over to the Plains section to see the Dragons of Komodo.  Well, they didn't lie with their pluralization of dragons.  It was dragons, but only 2.  They marketed this as a big fancy exhibit and only had 2?!  Disappointing.  I was hoping the dolphin show would make the trip worth it.  Wrong.  It sucked too!  I think it was a total of 15 minutes with 2 cool high flying jumps.  The rest was boring.  Here's some random animal shots.

Our zoo entry allowed us into the gardens and butterfly exhibit.  Let's go see what they have.  We saw about 10 butterflies total, checked out the gardens, grabbed a photo op and we were on our way home.  It wasn't the most exciting or memorable time but at least I had good company to share it with.

Here's some video of an elephant taking a dump putting on a show, a monkey peeing and the awful dolphin show.
