Hi Mom,
We went to the Zoo with Vivienne on Thursday. It was not a pretty day, cloudy with a few drops of rain mostly when we were eating lunch. I'd not been to the Zoo here in Munich before, so it was kind of nice. We rented a wagon to pull her around in. As is typical with modern Zoos, the distances you have to walk are considerable, particularly for a 4 year old. We had a good time. It was the first time we've taken Vivienne on an excursion without her mother or father. I think we'll do it again. She was very well behaved and was willing to put off having icecream until we were ready to head for the exit.
Here are some pictures from the day.

We had to cover her cast with a plastic bag since it was raining. She'll get it off just after her birthday on the 19th.

What was Vivennes favorite part of the visit? Using the hand blowdryer in the restroom!! What can I say. I liked the gorillas and the orangutans, though the orangutans seemed somewhat sad compared to the ones we saw in Borneo in May. They have such a sterile environment here. Emily liked the polar bears. As she says, "It's all over for them, they have no home anymore."
