Zoo!

The weather was sooooo nice (relatively speaking) on Thursday that I decided we needed to go to the zoo. I was so excited for the kids to see the bears and lions and other creatures that we usually don't see everyday. How fascinated they would be! How enthralled they would be to marvel at the dolphins swimming or the brown bear's massive size. Then we got there and I remembered that my kids experience the zoo a little differently than it was intended for. Here were some of their most excited moments:


The photo machine. Do people really pay $5 for these pictures?


A Map.


Spraybottles. How much did I pay for this zoo membership again?


A fire hydrant. "It's yellow!" CT squealed with sheer delight. I could hardly contain my own excitement! Good thing we spent an hour in the car getting over here to see a yellow fire hydrant.


Zoo cops. Very intimidating indeed. I think he was really weirded out by me taking pictures, so that was kinda fun!

Other exciting sights included Anything with a Button or Flap and countless Handicap Door Buttons. It's good that they have animals there for me to look at to make the time pass while my kids are busy appreciating the details!
