Visit To The Zoo

Lexi has been talking about going to the zoo since last fall. We took her once when she was just over 1 year old, but of course she can't remember any of it.

Ryan had to go out of town for a while, so when he got back we thought it would be fun to spend the day at the zoo. The weather hadn't been too hot yet and we wanted to make sure we went before it was miserable to be outside.

I guess a lot of people had the same idea we did, because when we go to the zoo, it was packed. I couldn't believe it. We had to park in the upper parking lot. Even though there were a lot of people, we had a really fun day. Lexi had a lot of fun, but she wasn't as impressed as I thought she would be. She was really excited to see the zebra's and elephants, but she really didn't like the other things. We were kind of disappointed that the train wasn't working, but it ended up okay. Lexi had fun playing on the playground. They are getting ready to open a new area at the zoo with a really neat carousel. We told her that we would be sure to come back once it was open. We will be sure to go when the weather is a little bit cooler so the animals will be more active.

This ended up being a really fun outing for our little family!!!
