We have made several trips to the zoo this summer, and believe me it never disappoints. When we went with my mom, the nun, cousin Kate and kids earlier in the summer I thought we had narrowly avoided a very awkward situation, that is until that evening. I said to Laney, "Tell Aunt Sarah what was your favor tie part of the zoo today." Laney replied, "I liked it when the daddy lion got on the mommy lions back and went for a ride." Oh yes...we got the above photo right before that.
Well the ride bracelets again were a saving grace. However, cousin Kate had a hard time waiting to ride the train. She is very smart, and at one point, I think she had had enough of us telling her it would just be a few more minutes (that or a whole day with her cousins was more than she could handle :) )
A few weeks later we returned to the zoo with grandma jojo and cousins kevin, bradley and aunt michelle. Again, we had a blast and saw a ton of animals. We learned lots of facts, like elephants have only 4 teeth, but loose them 6 times in their lifetime. The kids wondered how much the tooth fairy brought the elephants? We also learned that baby tiger cubs spend lots of time sleeping, more time than they do playing! But when we went to see the new baby tiger cubs the kids asked if when they play if they were going to jump on each other's backs too, like the lions did last time. I didn't know how to tell them that is how those baby tigers got here!
