The Zoo---what were we thinking!!!!???


So as summer was winding down and Chris having his last free weekend we decided to go to the zoo as a family of four. We loaded up the car with two strollers, snacks, and off we went. As the morning started off kind of rainy we were hoping that maybe it would be that busy....to pull into the parking lot to see that it was PACKED! It took us a half hour to find a parking spot, but we were determined. Get to the front gate to find out...IT IS FREE DAY AT THE ZOO. EVERYONE AND THEIR ENTIRE EXTENDED FAMILY WAS AT THE ZOO FOR FREE DAY!! What were we thinking, why didn't anyone tell us, how did we not know this??? We definately would have thought twice before going!!!
However we still had a great time, saw a lot of animals. The elephant was Brooklyn's favorite. And she would not touch the animals in the petting zoo. We also saw a baby lion, penguins, bears, giraffe and cheetah. It ended up being a very humid day, and got very tired in the two hours we were there.
The picture above was taken of Brooklyn POST-ZOO. Can you tell we were ready to go home!!!
But very glad we got to spend the day with dad before he got busy at work!!
