A good day for the zoo...



For my birthday, I wanted to spend a day with my boys. I'm sure they didn't want to spend the day shopping or scrapbooking, so we went to the zoo. Josh was so excited. It was all he talked about for two weeks! We weren't sure if we were going to be able to make it since the weather wasn't looking in our favor. Luckily it wasn't snowing, so we took a chance. The best time for the zoo is on a colder day! - not as many people, animals are more active, and it's not so hot!
It was fun to see all of the animals. Because it was cold, most of the animals were out playing. The zookeeper was in playing with the monkeys, so they weren't just sitting there. It was fun to watch all of the monkeys, and there were a lot of them! Josh loved watching the big elephants. That's all he talks about -big ears, big tail, big elephants... We also rode the "Choo-choo" and the "round and round" (Merry go round). Josh was very insistive on sitting on the rhino.
Unfortuantely the one thing that he really wanted to see wasn't there - the Aligators :(. The White aligator went back to Lousiana and the regular crocodiles were mating, so they needed their privacy. He was also disappointed that we couldn't eat lunch at the zoo. A few tears were shed, but they were gone when we told him we were having pizza and root beer.
Josh loves animals! I'm sure we'll be visiting the zoo quite a bit this year!

Love to here about the tears for not eating at the zoo. Ryan deserves that after his comments when Trev had the melt down when he also wanted to eat at the zoo!
