Hazel buckles in for the trip. It's a little hard to see out the window, so she might take a little nap. Brimmed hats are important for protecting delicate snouts from the sun.
We're there! Do they have big hippos? The design of the sign is a good omen.
Hazel makes a friend. Bronze gorilla backs are so warm and protective.
Hazel measures up. She's not quite as tall as a wild hippo. How do wild hippos ever find a human strong enough to carry them around?
Hazel's carrier is very cozy. It functions as a sedan chair, a nest, and a place to store any goodies she finds.
Penguins are Hazel's second favorite animal.
Oooh! They have one, they have one. A real, live BIG HIPPO! He has a nice beach to walk on. I wonder if he has space for a roommate?
Hazel was so good that she got a treat. Be careful with the Jaw Busters!That looked like a great zoo to visit. I think the next time that Hippo is in Toledo he'll have to make a pilgrimage of his own.
