Matt loaded up his truck this morning for his road trip home and Allison and I had most of the day free before our flight home tonight. We decided on a day at the KC Zoo to do something fun and keep us from dwelling on yesterday's goodbye.
What a cute zoo! We spent a lot of time watching the very busy young orangutan play with his mom.
Allison fed the goats
and we saw several turtles, snakes and birds.
We watched the interactive presentation with the elephants and saw kangaroos grazing in an open area of the zoo.
By early afternoon it was getting really humid. We crossed the suspension bridge to visit the gorillas and then called it quits. I would like to get back here sometime to see some more!
Before heading to the airport, we stopped at the Firefighter's Memorial Fountain and looked up a good place for ice cream.
We parked the car, but spotted this donut shop right across the street. We couldn't decide between the two so sampled both!
We shared a doughnut from the Doughnut Lounge and get scoops of ice cream at Westport Ice Cream.
Now off to the airport...
