We went to the zoo yesterday with our neighbors, the Shelleys and the Sterziks. Spencer was very excited. We rented a double stroller from the zoo (one day I’ll have my own!) and started on our way. It was overcast and it sprinkled a tiny bit so it was cooler than it has been for the past month, plus the zoo wasn’t as crowded so that was great! We saw the monkeys, elephants, rhinos, bears, zebras and a few others and then we decided to have lunch. We watched the bird show which was really neat – Spencer and Ayslind danced to the music before the show started. We got great pictures of the birds in the air, plus some of the fun tricks they trained the birds to do…like one bird had a coke bottle with some water in it, the bird drank it, dropped it and another bird picked it up and put it in the recycling bucket. It was pretty neat. Evie fell asleep after the show so I put her in the double stroller and used my backpack to keep her from rolling. (later we saw a Lynx or Puma…can’t remember which…sleeping in the same position Evie was!) We saw the rest of the animals (cats, wolf, giraffes, etc) then finished off with a train ride. The clouds went away by the afternoon so we were all really hot…you could especially tell on Spencer…pink cheeks and all! Both of my kids were fast asleep on the ride home.
