Yesterday our family (minus the 2 big girls) headed to the zoo because my youngest claims to have never been to the zoo before. I did point out that she had in fact gone when she was almost 1. M says she has no memory of that so it doesn't count. SO we wake up early and head to the zoo- but not just any day at the zoo-it was "Boo at the Zoo". Got breakfast to go at Duncan Doughnuts then hit the highway. About 30 minutes later we were THERE! Kids were pouring in wearing their halloween costumes. Not us. I did not think it would be fun to try to walk all day in a thin witch costume as it was 60 degrees. Also we could not stay until the costume contest. M was not phased by this and just excited to FINALLY be at the zoo. (See why she is our current favorite!) But we did play lots of games that were run by college students, saw a fabulous magician and won lots of rubber fangs, candy, stickers and animal trading cards. And we saw all the animals! My daughter loved the sea lions and harbor seals. The polar bear was just curled up asleep and not very interesting which was disappointing. But we moved on to "Africa" to see flamingos (who get their pink color from eating shrimp), lions, zebras, elephants, rhinos and giraffe! We ended up spending about 3 hours walking around and M was thrilled and thought it was the "best day ever!" A good day all the way around!
