A Day at the Zoo

We hadn't been to the zoo in quite a while, so I decided to pull Taneal out of school and all of us go for the day. The night before I asked each of the girls to decide which 3 animals they wanted to make sure they saw. Taneal wanted to see the elephants, alligators, and snakes. Camie wanted to see the Giraffes, Gorillas, and Hippos. Danielle wasn't sure what all this zoo and animal talk was about, but she decided she wanted to see monkeys. The anticiaption was definately there. They suprisingly slept well, but were up and dressed at the crack of dawn hurring me out of bed. They were so excited.

We arrived at the zoo and the weather couldn't have been better. There weren't any crouds, so we picked the perfect day to be at the zoo. After about four hours we had seen all the animals on our lists and many, many more. The kids were on their best behavior, even Spencer. They were ready for another round and pretty adamant about it. The problems was that Camie could no longer walk, her legs were aching so she insisted on riding in the wagon. Same with Taneal. I decided it was time to go home. They resisted a little, but after I assured them we would be back some time in the future, the happily agreed to go home. They were tucked into bed and asleep by 7pm. What a fun day!
