A day at the zoo...

One crisp and beautiful day last fall I took the boys to the zoo and it was a day to remember. The animals were all in full on "show off" mode and we were loving every second of it. The last time Harper was at the zoo he was just a baby but Adam and I knew what a real treat it was to see so much activity out of the animals - who oftentimes are just snoozing the day away. The lions were walking around (actually when one of them stood up Harper nearly had a heart attack, screamed bloody murder, and tried to run away - oops), the orangutans were putting on a show, the elephants got to eat some bamboo while the zoo keeper gave a talk about them, and the sea lions were swimming and diving, rinse and repeat. 

Of course if you ask the kids what their favorite part was they'd tell you it was when we got to the copper head snake exhibit - I too nearly had a heart attack, wanted to scream blood murder and tried to run away. Gee thanks kiddos!
