The big party was at the Little Gym. Chaos reigned.

Is there a better way to cool off on a warm day than to soak the front of your dress at a fountain?

Zoo! part 2
Watching the penguins


Quacking at the ducks - of all the animals in the zoo the ducks and chickens were the most exciting.
A sign warns that this bear has a bad habit of begging and asks visitors to not encourage him by tossing him food. He was putting on quite a show.
The day ends with a nap with now two monkeys.
