A Trip to the Zoo

After weeks and weeks of temperatures in the upper 90's and low 100's, we finally had a "cool" day. The high Friday was supposed to be 85, so I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take my children to the zoo. We took our good friend Audrey with us.

Sarah Beth asked me before we left if she could feed the giraffes.

Do you think she enjoyed it?

Daniel wasn't so sure about the giraffes, but with a little help, he fed the goats.

For the first time, I let them ride the train. (In my defense, we didn't really know about it before.)

Of course, we had to ride the carousel! It's the highlight of our trip!!

Monkeying around. (Orangutan-ing around just doesn't sound right.)

Daniel thought this big guy looked thirsty, too. Maybe they are learning to share!

Rachel was just as sweet as she could be for this trip.

Have you been to the zoo this summer? What other fun activities have you done with your children?

The giraffe picture is cute! We have a great zoo about an hour away (Oregon Zoo). We have not been there in three years--need to get over there before the summer ends.
