Now that's not something you see everyday!

We recently headed out to the Zurich Zoo when we were caught in a crowd of people.  What is going on?

It's a penguin parade!

One of these guys nipped at Samantha, proving, yet again, that there is no such thing as OSHA in Europe.

It was positively surreal.  We had a lot of fun playing with the baby penguins too...

And check out the look on this penguins face.  I know he is thinking, "what is up with her?"

A zoo in the snow has very interesting sights.  This is not something you see everyday!

or this!

This zoo has it all, including lots of play areas for children who have had enough of sight seeing.  True to Swiss form the playground equipment is made of  natural products.  This playground is a mock-up spiderweb, and Nicole is caught in the cocoon.

They have a petting zoo too.  Momma, I can relate!

Check out the "binky tree" in this area.  These are where they display the pacifiers after the goats snatch them from unsuspecting toddlers. 

I hope we will visit again with our family and friends who come here.  Now if you will humor me for a moment, I would like to include a few of my favorite pictures from the zoo.  I really like playing with my digital SLR.  I hope you enjoy them.



And as my father would say, "that's all, folks!"
