This year, the Boise zoo got upgraded where we now have lions and giraffes and a whole African Safari exhibit. What most people don't know is that the Boise State theatre department designed and built the exhibit. For those of you who don't know, I am a theatre major at BSU, so I got to participate in putting it together. So I hung out in that lion's den just days before they arrived. I think it's cool, anyway.

Aside from that, it was the first time that we have been to the zoo as a family. It was a perfect day and all the animals we right out in front of their cages to show off for the boys. They had a great time. We let them ride on the carousel and that was fabulous, too.
