And then we  met up with my parents, Thomas, Veronica, Miquel and Nina at Oreland Pizza for lunch. From there we headed down to the Philly zoo for the afternoon.

    

The morning was overcast and rainy, but by the time we hit the zoo it was warm and sunny. As it turns out, they were also taping an episode of "Dinner Impossible" with Robert Irvine at the zoo. They were doing a dinner for local armed forces, police and fireman at the zoo.



We came across where they were filming and hung out for a while watching what they were doing. It was pretty interesting to see that what you see from Chef Irvine on the show was actually going on in person. We managed to get some good shots of him in action.

The menu apparently was inspired by different animal groups - reptiles, primates, big cats, and birds. And apparently on the menu under reptiles were chocolate covered crickets!

Everyone had a great time at the zoo. Afterwards we headed up to Giuseppi's near Oreland for dinner before everyone headed home.

More pictures can be found on Facebook, or my Picasa page.
