Free day at the zoo? Never again!!!

Remind me to NEVER, EVER return to the zoo on a free day! I didn't realize that that was today, but something should have given me a clue when the parking lot was full and you had to park in Kansas to walk to the zoo entrance. It was SO crowded, and I feel like we didn't really get to see lots of animals today because I had to factor in the HIKE back to the car after weaving through the crowds for the duration of our crazy visit. A free day is truly the definition of a total zoo!
