We went to the zoo

Friday was a glorious day. Andy & James both had the day off work, so we went to the Edmonton Zoo. It's small, but cool. Most cool of all, look what we saw just walking around the zoo!!

Yep, an elephant! Her name is Lucy, and apparently she goes for daily walks around the zoo. We couldn't touch her, but we got close (like 10 feet away).

We saw lots of other animals too, but that was definitely the highlight of our day.
Take a good look at the picture below, and click on it so it gets bigger and you can read the sign in the background.
A python just for children? Who knew? And it's on an educational program. Yeah, I bet....
Note how wonderful the weather appears in our elephant pictures. It looks like we're on the savannah right there in Africa.
Then we woke up this morning to this:

Good old Alberta, where the seasons run backward....spring, winter....I'm afraid of what might be next.
