My sister-in-law, Stefanie, and I have been trying to do something once a week with all the kids. This week we decided the zoo sounded great. We originally planned to go tomorrow (Wed.) and at the last minuted decided to go today instead. I pulled into the parking lot first and noticed it looked awfully busy. But since I'm not that familiar with the zoo, I just figured that the crowd was normal on days with such beautiful weather. Stef, on the other hand, knew something ws going on the minute she saw the parking lot and the 50 school buses! It was EARTH DAY!!! And everyone could get into the zoo for free! The funny thing is that this is the 3rd year in a row she has showed up at the zoo on Earth Day....on accident!
So although it was hard to even MOVE, especially pushing a double stroller around, and many times we couldn't see the animals because we were behind a wall of kids, we had a pretty good time! It was a new experience for Taylor (the last time we were at the zoo she was 9mos. old), and she was pretty quiet and just took it all in. She did like the zebras and waved and said bye-bye to them. We saw a giraffe nice and CLOSE up and had fun feeding the animals at the petting zoo. One of the sheep was eating food out of Taylor's tray on her stroller...she wasn't so sure about that! Here are a few of our pictures:
So Happy Earth Day to all! Just steer clear of the zoo in future years!
