A hot day at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing

Thomas has a school project (of dubious merit, if you ask me) of going to a zoo, taking pictures, and writing about it. So, today, off we went. It was steamy and overcast and the zoo was incredibly crowded (especially for this little zoo, at which we have been literally the only visitors on a previous occasion (in Winter) but Thomas dutifully snapped various animals while Frederick and I sauntered around trying to avoid being trampled by the crowds. And afterwards, while Frederick unwound on the swings, Thomas unwound with a giant icecream.
