PTR: The Animals of the Columbus Zoo

[PREMiERdrum]

OK, I know.. I just did a Columbus Zoo / Zoombezi Bay PTR last weekend, but we barely spent an hour in the zoo itself that day. Since it was a beautiful morning, Avery and I headed up to the Zoo this morning for a half-day trip. So, here's what all we saw today!

Nice photos!

I love the look on her face here. Glad to see you captured it for posterity; hopefully she'll be able to laugh at that when she gets older.

I really need to find time to visit that zoo this summer (along with Cincinnati's - I live 10 minutes from the Cincy zoo and haven't been there in a year and a half...). Looks like a really fun place!
