Zoo...

My European friends and I braved the freezing weather and enjoyed a nice trip to the Kansas City zoo on Saturday! We got to see the lions up close and personal and the king of the pride even started roaring for us. It was majestic!

Here is a picture of me with one of the cats....

Also, we had lots of fun watching Nikita the polar bear dive for toys in the pool! Here are my friends Benjamin (a missionary kid who grew up in Germany) and Stefan (from the Netherlands) and I,enjoying Nikita's antics.

This was my fourth visit to the Kansas City zoo! I love visiting the animals there, it is a beautiful park-like place and they opened it up to the public for free for the last couple of months so I have been taking advantage of it!
