We were at the zoo again today. It was a muggy warm day, not too sunny. We got a late start on our trip out, so in my opinion things seemed rushed today. At least we got a good parking spot--close to the gate and more importantly under a tree for shade.
Again we were on the carousel...HRH rode on the cassowary and Elizabeth got to ride a manatee. Elizabeth smiled and giggled and even figured out that she had to hold onto the pole in front of her...that made her bonk her head, but she never cried. We ate our lunches by the fountain and then went to see the animals. We went to the Hamill play zoo and HRH did an art project (fabric collage) while Elizabeth watched. Elizabeth even saw her "friend" one of the workers that was pregnant at the same time I was...she smiled so big at her and displayed that shiny new toofer for all to see.
HRH was good and didn't bug me for stuff every 30 seconds.
It was a fun day at the zoo and we will be there plenty more times in the future! I like going once the fall comes and there are some cool Halloween things to do ("Boo at the Zoo") and come end-of-November the Christmas trees go up for decorating for their Christmas celebration ("Holiday Magic"-includes a night-time christmas light display that they start putting lights up for in mid-September). Of course, there are fewer people there, and on some days as we walk around the zoo in the winter I have to wonder if we are the only ones there. Those are nice times too. I think that this year we will go for Holiday Magic, as it is Elizabeth's first birthday and we have to celebrate.
