zoo = zoo
Here’s your quick French-language lesson for the day: want to know how to say “zoo” in French? I’ll give you a hint… it’s pretty close to the english… got it yet? That’s right – it’s “zoo”! Although to be fair, it is pronounced more like “zoh”.
In any case, we greatly enjoyed a day trip this past Saturday to a zoo in the town of Granby, which is about an hour west of here. The zoo was really well designed for kids, with a lot of interactive exhibits… when reasonably possible, of course! i.e. the kids got to go into a pen with sheep and pigs and goats… but not with lions or tigers! There was a cool parrot house, where parrots could land on you, and you got to walk through the wallaby enclosure and get close to them, too!
There was a fun playground in the middle for the kids *ahem* to play on, too. 
In the wallaby enclosure, you could see what it was like to be a joey, or baby kangaroo…
Jacob’s favorite exhibit was the tigers – it’s easier to show you than to describe it – so here’s a pic:
My personal favorite exhibit was the hippos – we got to walk through a glassed-in tunnel and watch hippos swim around us. I liked it when two of the hippos “kissed.” Tim liked it when the mama hippo pooped underwater right in its baby’s face. Either way, it was fun.
The day that we visited, it was “Halloween at the Zoo” day, so we saw lots of kids – and their parents – dressed up on costume. At the end of the day, three-year old Brady (another MAF m.k.) was asked what his favorite animal was. His answer? “Spiderman!”
We went to Granby Zoo as a kid – too fun. I’m glad to see you guys have been having at least a bit of fun during all of your hard work in Quebec!
