Even Giant Pandas Love Snow Days
Here in the stateline area, school kids are enjoying a day off from school. However, not having school because of dangerous windchills is not nearly as fun as playing outside in the snow.
This is Bao Bao, a 16 month old giant panda, enjoying a romp through the snow at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C..
Along for the fun is Bao Bao's mother, Mei Xiang.
No word on whether Bao Bao had to go to the bathroom right after Mei Xiang got him ready to play outside.
