Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday Mom, Jenni, and I took Ethan and Gwen to the Zoo. The weather was great..overcast and cool in the AM and then sunny and warm around lunch time. I think we managed to see everything we wanted (except the nocturnal house as there was a line!). The kids even got to pet goats at the "petting zoo". Whatever happened to a variety of animals, such as pigs, cows, chickens, etc....just goats! That hardly counts as a zoo. Here are some pictures from our trip.



The kids riding the Komodo Dragon


Mom and the kids on the Monkey sculpture...they couldn't stop climbing for a good picture.



Gwen and I riding the baby elephant (don't worry, no baby elephants were harmed in the taking of this picture)

That is odd about the petting zoo having just goats...but maybe goat are the only small(ish) animal sturdy enough to survive being man handled by a million overly excited little kids! I always felt sorry for the bunnies when the parents said, "Ok, let's go" and the kids would hug the stuffin's out of those bunnies as mom or dad tried to drag the kids out of there! :-}

It sounded like you folks had a good time at the zoo! It encouraged me to get my crew geared up for that adventure...if the rain ever stops!

Love you much! Aunt Deanne
