McComb Family

We could not have asked for better weather for Adam's field trip to the Sacramento Zoo yesterday -- sunny but not hot. Perfect!! Here's the gang meeting up before we cross the street and enter the zoo. Those three boys standing in the front looking like trouble-makers were my group!!!

One of the first stops was the flamingoes. I'm pretty sure one of them is not flying away, so I don't know what Logan is pointing at!! :) The best part of the day for me though was getting to play with my camera some more. I love the way this picture came out (even better on the big screen at its original size). I've done a little messing around with action shots, but here I got to play with the manual focus and aperture settings. I'm slowly learning!!

I hadn't been to the zoo since they changed the giraffe exhibit. Now you get to stand up on a platform and look at them more eye-to-eye. Pretty cool.

The orangutans were hilarious. We got there and saw them like this....

Then they all of a sudden started wrestling, rolled down the hill, and landed down in the empty moat at the bottom. The boys of course thought that was awesome!! In fact, they are probably trying it today at school!

Here are all the monkeys!!!

The first time we went by the zebra enclosure, there were no zebras. Here we are making our second round.......and success!

King of the Jungle.

Finally, a picnic lunch before we boarded the bus and headed back to school.

Being as this was his first time to the zoo, he had a great time -- even though he still wasn't quite 100%.
