Sasha at the Zoo

The zoo is so close by and always a fun spot to spend some time. It is especially fun when I spend time there with my friend Tamara and baby Sasha. She loves watching the animals and they love to watch her.

And Sasha isn't the only baby there. The twin orangutans are still in their nursery and on display a few hours each day.

There are a few baby monkeys in the various exhibits as well. Look closely and you can see baby hanging on to mama's stomach.

Afternoon zoo time always makes us smile.

The adult orangutans are so huge. It is hard to imagine them in the wild. There are several orangutan preserves and rehabilitation centers throughout Asia. For Christmas I adopted Wendy at a center in Borneo for Shayne and Kyle. There habitat is being destroyed and this helps save those who have been affected by encroaching civilization.

And what would a zoo trip be without a school field trip?
