A couple of weeks ago we went to Vienna for the weekend. We spent the better part of Saturday at the Vienna Zoo. A great time was had by all even considering that it rained on and off all day long.
The Vienna Zoo is probably the best Zoo I've ever been to. It's really quite big and we got see some animals that we either hadn't seen before or doing cool stuff.
Katie and VJ got to see Pandas for the first time.
There was a baby Tiger.
And two Polar Bear Cubs.
For the first time we got to see the Hippos OUT of the water...and up close, too!
And of course my favorite, the Rhinos.
Again with the Giraffes. At least this time it was very G-rated fare. Check out this crazy young giraffe running all around the place.Luckily the sun came out for Vito & Katie's favorite part:
One other attraction is worth mentioning: the Bat Cave. I don't know if that's what the Zoo people call it but whatever. They had a room that you could walk through where there were Bats that were flying all around you. As we came up to it, VJ clearly expressed a lack of desire to go through. I believe his exact words were "No! No Daddy! No! No!" Honestly I wasn't that in to it either but Katie was all for it. Since Anna was out getting some more rain gear at the time we had to skip it until just before leaving and Katie and I double backed to check it out. It wasn't that bad but not something I ever need to do again.

That baby tiger is so cute, I'd almost go to the zoo to see it. Bat cave? Uh, ever heard of rabies folks?
We went to the zoo last time Anne and Chris were here. A bird bonked his head on the glass in the lion's den and landed right in front of us. This prompted the attention of the nearby lion. Here's me "Looky kids! Look over here! What is that? A dolphin? Popcorn? Ice Cream?", i.e. please watch anything other than this lion about to eat this poor birdie.
