Today, I took Everett and his friend Gabe to the zoo. When we pulled into the parking lot, it was already full of school buses...not a good sign. Then we tried to find a parking place in the general parking lot and got pretty much the last spot...again, not a good sign!! Both boys were really excited and Gabe's mom had packed some "day old" bread to feed the turtles. This was great for us and all the people watching us throw bread over the bridge. Many creatures joined this grand feast...ducks, fish, pigeons, and turtles big and small. Once we made it inside, we went to dip our hands in the pool of stingrays. Gabe was a bit more adventurous than Everett. He enjoyed watching the rays....not touching them. Next, we went on a train ride. I have to say that this is THE BEST way to see the zoo. We got to see all of the animals up close and personal, without all of the whining about sore feet and tiredness. The highlight, was the brother and sister lions that were awake and playing. After the train, I let them play in the water at the clubhouse. This was more of a sandy, muddy, and splashy experience. Before we left we had to see the reptiles. We were sad to find out that the giant python wasn't on display....but, no worries, there were plenty of rattlesnakes....my favorite. *kidding* It was a fun day had by all. Oh, and I forgot...I lost my cell phone and had to go all the way back to find it. The joys of the zoo!!
