We decided to take the kids to the zoo one Saturday. We took the Metro there and then when we were 10 steps into the zoo, Finn starts complaining about how his feet hurt! It was hot and crowded but we were able to spend 4 hours seeing the animals. Neelah was most interested in seeing the Hippo's. Finn wanted to see the Crocodiles.
We stopped in this little "cove" to eat lunch. It was shady and a bit cooler. There were all these statues of monkeys and so we took the opportunity for a photo op. From where we ate, we could see this Orangutan traveling across the zoo. At one point, he stopped on the ropes and turned his bum toward us and scratched it. Nice. The kids thought that was hilarious.
Finn complained almost the entire time about his feet and how tired he was. It was so annoying and it made me regret even going to the zoo. To top it off, as we are walking out of the zoo, Finn says to me "Mom, when are we going to come BACK to the zoo?" Seriously?
Looking back, I can remember how hot and annoying that day was but having these pictures to remind us of the fun stuff makes it worth it.
