Staying Cool

We visited the zoo yesterday where the theme of the day was staying cool. Most animals had staked out a place in the shade. Rocky the Rhino and his mom were wallowing in their mucky water. The elephants were spending their time covering themselves with dirt. That's like SPF 45 for elephants. The baby elephant doesn't have full control of her trunk, yet, so she just rolled in the dirt. Just as effective.

As for us, we tried to find shady patches. Sean also liked the mist off the fountains at the new otter exhibit.
