The Zoo

After the fun doctor’s appointment, we took a family trip to the zoo. We have a wonderful zoo nearby, and it’s not too big (meaning that it’s not too big to walk around with two children LOL).

When we got there, the place was crowded. It was the last day of Spring Break for many of the area schools, so parents were taking advantage of the absolutely gorgeous weather and taking their children to the zoo. We paid for our tickets and set out for the stroller rentals.

We rented a double stroller rather than a wagon because we didn’t want to fight with Baby Boo to get her to sit down the entire time. So, we strapped the kids in, and set off. We saw all sorts of fun creatures including monkeys (Baby Boo’s favorite), cats (lion, tigers, no bears though LOL), and Miss Priss’s favorite, the elephants. She also liked the rhinos and the kangaroos. All the animals were sleeping since it was the middle of the day.

They also had a tapir. Miss Priss corrected someone’s pronunciation (thankfully, they didn’t hear) because she knows how to say it thanks to Diego.

My favorite was the penguins. I just think they’re so cute. And you could see them really well from the monorail. It was feeding time, so they were all lined up along the wall waiting for food.

We had a fun time even if we couldn’t keep Baby Boo in the stroller. She didn’t want to sit down because she was afraid she was missing something. My bicep got a good workout. She’s a heavy girl anymore.

We got Miss Priss an umbrella from the gift shop, and we got Baby Boo a little shirt that has a monkey face on the front that says “Heads” and a tail on the back that says, you guessed it “or Tails?”
