We were pretty impressed with the zoo. We hit Cat Country first since we had about an hour until the keeper talk with the pandas at the back of the zoo.
One of the craziest sights was the red panda relaxing in the tree above our heads. It looked like it could jump down at any time.
The kids were able to get up close to a Komodo dragon, which seemed to really like Jack.
And then we reached the pandas (finally!).

Jack with Le Le, who slept the whole time we were there.

The zoo has two polar bears – Payton and Haley – but we only got to see Payton. However, we got to see them feed him, and it was neat to watch him diving in the water.
We only got to see one sea lion, but that's because the other female just gave birth three days ago.
Mara also got to feed some budgies.
When we left, we went to the Bar-B-Q Shop for dinner based on the recommendation of an employee at the zoo gift shop. It was good barbecue. We liked it so much that we bought a bottle of the sauce to bring home with us.
