So what happens when it is over 90 degrees and the elephants at the zoo are feeling playful? What you get is a big elephant 4 feet away taking a swim!
Last Tuesday, two of my brothers, my two nephews, one of my nieces and I all took a trip to the zoo. We started out early hoping to avoid threatening rainstorms and by the time we made it to the elephant side of the zoo it was almost 2 o'clock and sweltering. As we approached the enclosure we heard that the elephant was taking a swim in the pool. Sure enough, as we got up there it was really close to the viewing area -- half submerged in the water! Having never seen an elephant in the zoo actually in the pool provided for them it was fascinating to watch! However, one must be careful that close to an elephant. All of a sudden, the elephant decides that the people watching him needed to be wet as well -- letting go of a whole trunkful of water! Luckily, I was standing to the side and saw everybody jump backwards, not getting any elephant spit on me! So I'll end this post with something that looked very fun and cooling on a very hot day!
