Giant panda Update Jan 6, 2015

Today was Bao Bao's first time playing in the snow outside! And she was quite the little snow panda. She spent her morning tumbling down the hill in her yard, climbing and sliding down trees and pouncing on her mom Mei Xiang!

Bao Bao also did the panda version of snow tubing, which we caught on video!
