We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...






We went to the zoo! Some friends (Peter, Traci, and Danielle) from where we lived before treated us to a visit to the zoo as a birthday present for the kids. We met them at the zoo that is sort of in between our two cities. We spent the whole day there...we got to ride a train, Traci and the boys went on a camel ride, we ate a lovely picnic, saw a bird show, rode the carousel, and saw ALL of the animals. The boys' mantra was "let's see MORE animals." Jo napped a little but the boys just kept going and going and going. We ate dinner at a restaurant near the zoo but Andy slept through most of it because he fell asleep almost as soon as we left the zoo parking lot. Doug fell asleep just before we got back home. I think the boys' favorite part was the train ride (Mommy: What was your favorite animal? Andy: The train!)
Jo really, really liked the carousel. she wanted to get back on again when it was over.

You make me think of having Andy on my shoulders at Northlandz when you were here. He kept leaning all the way down to look in my face and say, "let's keep going."

He definitely is not one to linger... I think I got to read the titles on some signs and that was about it.
