Brrr!! (which rhymes with grrr!...but in a good way)

Photo 52, Week 6:  Brrr!!

This week's theme is a cool one, and it reminded me that I hadn't yet seen
how the young leopards and tigers are getting along with winter.

So I felt obligated to pay them a visit.
(You have to pass the grizzlies to get to the leopards.)

Apparently, brrr and grrr are very complementary.

winter is so photogenic!

Those are some pretty impressive snow sculptures. And some pretty impressive children : ).
What a fun day. Kaishon LOVES the zoo. Like, loves it is so much, if I told him we were going to move to the zoo, he would die of happiness. I should take him soon.
