Linda and Marcia are here for a visit. One of the activities on the itinerary was to spend some time with the kids. Since we went to the Aquarium a couple of weeks ago with Grandma and
Grandpa Smith, we decided to spend a day at the Zoo...despite Jacob's insistence that "no...we...are...going...to...the...quarium." It was a tiring, but fun adventure that began with trying to wedge the wagon into the back of my Pilot. I was ready to give it up and just rent a wagon at the zoo, but no, Marcia would not accept defeat. After moving Jacob's car seat to the middle row, we were finally able to get the back gate shut and wedge Marcia between the two car seats. It was a good decision as we were able to store ice, juice and snacks for the kids in the wagon.
The chimps put on quite a show and all was fun and games until two of the bigger ones began fighting and swinging up to and banging against the window just inches away from us. Lauren was not thrilled with that! One of the last exhibits we saw was the Feather Fest, where we were surrounded by birds from Australia. We were given popsicle sticks with bird seed (we had to convince Lauren it wasn't a snack for HER) and the kids loved feeding the birds. Jacob was very brave and allowed one to sit on his shoulder and peck at his neck and cheek. Fun day!
