Rainy Zoo day - May 24

I thought, looking at the forecast for the week before our trip, that our zoo trip was going to be rained out. Even the day before our zoo trip, the forecast was for rain, rain, rain in Calgary.  We made alternate plans in the event of a rain out. 
I checked the web the morning of, rain in Calgary... they had a "poor weather discount" coupon on the zoo's website. We printed it off and hoped for the best. 
It was a GREAT day. No one was there and we didn't get rained on. Maybe 30 seconds of drizzle once, that was it. 
There was no one there, we had the place to ourselves. J was able to run ahead and not get lost. 
You can really see the difference in the animals behaviour with so few people. They were right up at the fences and glass, sleeping or just hanging out. 
Such a treat. 

A little chilly so the doors were closed.

I can't imagine ever being so close to a zebra again.

Despite the worrying whether we'd get rained on, we really couldn't have asked for a better day.
