Vacation 2014 - Day 14

Today we slept in and then headed to the Calgary Zoo. 

The zoo was very well designed and cared for and we enjoyed seeing a lot of animals that we don't have in our zoo at home. 

Highlights were the Grizzly bears, the "white" black bear, the tigers (one was quite active playing in the water), the gorillas, the rhino, the hippos, the giraffes and the zebras. And the African pigs, whose pen we were at just at feeding time and the kids loved watching them scurry around to get their food while staying out of the "big" pigs way. 

After the zoo we headed back to the hotel for some napping and swimming. Then it was out for supper and a browse through the mall. 

Chenoa had been asking for a while now to get her ears pierced and today she did it!!  She was so nervous but the look on her face when it was done was priceless!!  She was so excited!

After some more swimming it was once again time for bed...
