Zoo-licious

Here we are at the annual Feast with the Beasts - Zoo ala Carte. Milwaukee County Zoo is divided up into different villages, each with a free music stage, food tents, and of course, the animals on display.
We're set up outside the Family Farm (yes there is a farm in the zoo.)

The Giraffe bends down to fit in our picture.

His food's included with a meal plan, the rest of us have to buy tickets (10 for $5) for our grub.

It's not a trip to the zoo without a ride on the train.

And its the only one allowed to smoke!

The real Rhino was in it's cave, so you get the topiary one instead.

Right across from our Street Studio is the African Savannah, where the Gazelles (in the brush,) hide from the Lioness. Because of the moat between them they can't fulfill their hunter-prey relationship, but they can't figure out why. Thus, the Gazelle are nervous and the Lioness is frustrated. Intern Courtney delivers the afternoon's sweet tooth confections; The Brownie Mountain Sundae and the Double Turtle Sundae.

The elephant takes a peek over her shoulder at the nuts on our sundaes.
