Wanted to go to this Opening, but, was stuck in hibernation-mode myself.. Maybe this weekend, when the temps get back in the mid-to-upper teens!
Were most of the animals out? Or, were they huddled/curled up in a ball?
Hope it was still nice, regardless. Look forward to supporting the Zoo again this year!
