Vacation Activity #3 - Part 1

For our last activity on vacation, we ventured to the zoo. It was one of the hottest days of the summer when we were there, but hey what do you expect in the month of July. We ventured to the zoo during the week to beat the weekend traffic and it was well worth it. It was dead. Kind of like having the entire zoo to ourselves. There was very few people and no lines for anything. Just how we like it. We saw a good variety of animals from monkeys to hippos.

The animals themselves were even trying to stay cool by resting either in the shade or in water. We saw some silly monkeys rolling down a hill with their night-night to keep us and them entertained. That was a hoot!

We purchased zoo passes when we were there that was way worth the $10 per person. We got to ride on the zoo train that took us around the entire zoo to scope out all the cool animals, ride on the merry-go-round, watch a 3-d motion sensored movie, and see a sea lion show. The kids loved the train and merry-go-round. Of course, what kid would not. Josie and Brent went and saw the movie because Ogdan was to small and they suggest women expected should not go on it. Darn I know. We also got to see a 45 minute sea lion show. More info in next post on that show.

Overall, we will be back again in 2 years to see the new animals and things the zoo has to offer us. We go every other year. The last time we were there was the summer of 2009 and I was pregnant with Ogdan. So, we will see what happens in 2 more years.
