The Golden Gate Bridge turned 75, so we... avoided bridge celebration traffic by going to the zoo, where we saw...
Giraffes (and storks):
Zebras:
Penguins:
Small children:
Families:
A T-Rex eating popcorn carrion:
A spider:
And some peacocks:

Bunny hop!
Elephant walk!
Crab walk!
Balance beam!

Um, something about blowing out a candle!
Somersault!
Cheers!
