Zoo Day

Since Friday was the last day of Spring Break and with me getting sick in the middle of the week I decided to take the troops to the zoo. WHAT A MISTAKE that was!! There must have been at least 20 school busses there!! The parking lot and overflow lots were full. We found a spot and made our way inside. It was elbow to elbow people everywhere. You couldn't even see any of the animals because there were so many people. So we did 1 loop had a picnic lunch and left!! I think that was on record the shortest zoo trip ever for us. We were in and out in less that 2 hours!! And considering it take me anout 40 minutes to get there we spent just about the same amount of time driving as we did there!! Good thing though with the price of gas I combined a trip to the Scout Shop in with this trip. Since I am the Advancement chair for my sons troop I needed the last of the awards for tomorrows Court of Honor.

Ok still trying to figure this out....the 1st picture is my son, daughter, and nephew outside monkey village. My nephew likes watching them from the platform rather than going in.

The 2nd picture is them up in the giraffe tower.

I will try the zoo again soon...my nephew loves to pet the sting ray and I think that they are only here through April. Besides that it gets too hot much longer after that anyway. He loves to go to the zoo. And of course he has to walk!! Well most of the way!!
