Papa, me, and the boys jumped in the car to go see some animals at Kanazawa Zoo. It was a little cool, but very nice weather.

At the monkey exhibit, we ran into a charismatic fella. See the video below.

We took a break from all the animal excitement and tried some different kinds of ice cream. We also checked on the giraffes while C was researching our next move.

After we left the zoo, there is a park nearby with a long roller slide. Crazy Papa jumped on it with the kids and rode it down. They had a blast and you can generate some speed on the way down. Brakes are applied with your shoes by pressing them against the sides. The slide continues on to the right after the straightaway and its a pretty good hike to get back up. The video is from my phone and it was getting dark, but you get the idea.
