broke a record

Today we broke a record here in St. Louis. It got up to 73 degrees. It is the beginning of January and it felt like spring today. It was amazing. I volunteered at the zoo today while H and Curtis walked around the zoo and went to the Art Museum. It was a glorious day to be at the zoo. So many people came out. I got to see the new Babirusa baby, such a cute little piggy. I got a glimpse of the new Bongo baby. I hung out by the lions quite a bit, talking to visitors about our new brother and sister pair of lions and how great they are. While I was out there a keeper came out and threw them a ball to play with and came and talked to the docents that were there to fill us in a little bit about what was going on with the big cats. The lions were playful and great to watch and talk about. There were so many people there. After staying at the lions I went down to visit the chimps. Uti's arms were looking very bare, lots of hair pulling going on and she is so young. She was playing with Mlinzi a bit and checking in with mom every once in a while. Hugo is just so big, such a massive Chimpanzee. His size is amazing. It was good just to see them all again, it seems like it's been a long time, but just a couple of months I guess.
It was a good day!
