Pittsburgh Zoo

The conference didn't begin until the evening, which meant we had most of the day to ourselves. So to the zoo we went!

Leopard. 

I loved watching the Elephants. 

So much.

Next were the Masai Giraffes and Grant's Zebras. 

The Visayan Warty Pig. 

Next were the Clouded Leopard kittens. They were so cute. 

Giraffes are the most ridiculous creatures ever, I love them. 

The Pittsburgh Zoo has a Giraffe Meet and greet so we had to do it. 

He sniffed Michelle's hair. 

He stood next to me. 

Maybe it's just me, but because they're so tall I never really conceptualized just how large their heads are. 

Polar Bears are large.

He swam up to the wall, and you could compare his size to the children from the summer camp. 

Kangaroo. 

Snake. 

The cutest Meerkat. 

After the zoo, we went to the Church Brew Works. It's a church that was converted into a brewery. 

It had beautiful stained glass. 

After lunch, we found a bookstore.

And it was time for the conference to begin!
