Last Tuesday, we met some friends (Audrey, Owen & Will) at the National Zoo. We got there just in time to see them bathe the elephants! It was so fascinating to see how obedient those elephants were, just to earn a potato or apple slice. Have you ever seen the bottoms of an elephant's feet? Neither had I...but now I have!

When we joined the National Zoo, we were given a small stuffed Panda named "Tai-shan" and it has been one of Clark's very favorites from the start. So, when we saw Tai-shan right by the glass, we had to grab a quick picture. He's like a member of the family!

This is Clark & John's surprised face as they sit with the salamander. Don't worry, the REAL salamander is in the glass enclosure behind them.

Johnny was doing a silly laugh that was anything but real, but I captured a great picture from it!
