Giraffes!

When we first went to the Zürich Zoo and LGG learned that there were no giraffes, she said "this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me." We were reassured by others that there were giraffes at the zoo down in Rapperswil, but it was only open between March and October. Well, we've been a little busy, so we hadn't made it there yet. However, on Monday I received a text message from a friend saying they were going down to Rapperswil to the Knie Kinderzoo on Tuesday and we decided that it was time to go.

LGG was excited to go see the giraffes and was hoping to see them first. I had to remind her that we were going in a group and people would take turns deciding what to see. Luckily for LGG, the giraffes are immediately after the entrance. Here is a happy LGG with her friend in front of a giraffe.

You have to make sure you bring additional money for the various rides. Here's LGG on the pony ride (and I later rode on the elephant ride with LGG and friends).

And in Switzerland they have silly sea lion shows, just like in the US.

While the kids were petting the goats I noticed a display of artwork made from used aluminum. I decided that this creation was blog-worthy.
