Well, the zoo day could not have been more perfect, other than Daddy couldn't be with us. The weather was super! There were lots of school kids there, but it never felt cramped or crowded at all. The children were all happy and cheerful. Andrew did well. We saw much of what we wanted to see.
Brian's parents accompanied us on the excursion and we had lots of fun together. Everyone agrees that Gamma probably had the most fun of all! After all, it's been 25 years since her last visit. :) At the end of our visit I bought the kidos a vanilla ice cream cup to share and then the BIG TREAT .......... Gamma and Pappa took them to the (drum roll, please) the GIFT SHOP!!!!!! What a treat. I am not sure they really understood what was inside those doors, but I believe it all sunk as the passed through the sliding glass doors of this zoo memorabilia mecca. WOW! (You see mean old Mommy and Daddy have never taken them in there.) Special souvenirs were painstakingly chosen, but only after Nicole hugged and loved on most every stuffed animal in the place. She has her mommy's stuffed animal attraction, but she and I prefer to call them friends.
Jacob had a good time reading some things around him and recording the names of some of the animals we saw in his nature notebook. He wrote each name on an outline map of some of the continents that we had attached to his notebook. He really liked that!!
After a day of walking and walking and walking and having more fun than we can stand, we are all a bit tired and our feet are weary. Thank God for all the amazing animals you created and for the opportunity for us to enjoy them close to home.
