Today I took the boys to the zoo. I was a little concerned about the chance of rain in the forecast, but we so desperately needed to do something fun that I was willing to take the chance. The weather turned out to be beautiful, and not too many people were there. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day at the zoo.
We ate our snack with the gorillas - literally. We sat on the bench and ate grapes and cheese-nips and the gorilla was snacking on lettuce just a few feet away. The gorillas are one of my favorites because they seem so human. We also loved the baby orangutan and the two baby elephants.
By the polar bears they now have tiger sharks. That tank also has the tunnel underneath like the polar bears. Today there was a scuba diver following the sharks around. The kids in the tunnel seemed more enthralled with the diver than the sharks!
One funny story - At the lower sea lion viewing area, we were dangling our keys to get their attention. Isaiah just loved actually playing with the sea lions! But while we were down there, Isaiah was holding two cheese-nips and one grape. He showed me his hand and said, "Mommy, click on the one that's different." A man standing near us laughed out loud and said, "This is the computer age!"
