Lions and Tigers and Bears ...

Well, actually, the bears were off exhibit. But the lions, tigers and other big cats were out in full force at the Como Zoo today in St. Paul. The trip reminded us how much Truman likes to be out and about. He was content just looking around and being part of the excitement of the great big world.

We saw a giraffe trying to measure up:
