Zoo-ing and Golfing

On Saturday, we took a stroll at the small, local, Stone Zoo, to check out their new Black Bear exhibit. We always enjoy a leisurely walk through the zoo and this day was no exception. In addition to checking out the bears, we saw a mountain lion, a jaguar and a host of other animals.

We really enjoyed the new show on birds of prey, which included some very impressive birds like this barn owl...

...and this magnificent bald eagle.


After the show, we worked our way back to the front of the zoo, passing this coyote.

We left the zoo and headed to Hago Harrington's, also in Stoneham, for a spirited match of Mini-Golf. It was a close battle the whole way and even though Steve finished with a hole-in-one on the 18th, he didn't prevail.


The final tally:

Anne - 47
Erik - 47
Steve - 46
Rebecca - 45

As we got into our car to leave, a car that had just parked next to ours was unloading. Getting out of this vehicle was former olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan (who grew up in Stoneham and now lives in nearby Lynnfield), her husband and their children. I guess even the rich and famous can't resist a good game of mini-golf now and then.
