Zoo Day!

Yesterday, it was time for us to get out of the house! We have been sick for over 3 weeks now, and my legs are getting itchy. Nathan decided it would be fun to go to the zoo, so we did.

Every trip to the zoo is a learning experience. Seth really enjoys the bird house, and we have a room that you can walk into and the birds fly all around you. So, on Saturday, we walked by all of the cages and he found all of the birds. Then, we went to the little room, he likes this room, so we went in and got up close with all of the birds. He loved it.

Leah even found some birds... see, she's pointing!

So, you would think: "Seth likes up close encounters with animals." Nope! You are wrong. Some of the keepers had a snake and a tortoise just outside the bird house that kids over 5 could pet. Oh My! The child clung to me and whined as though I was going to abandon him. He looked, but not too closely. So, I thought, he doesn't like animals with scales. Nope, he did the same thing with the goats and cow!

As we left the zoo, we all enjoyed playing in the "Nile River" for the first time. I think Seth equated himself with Michael Phelps and did not want to leave. On the way home Seth and I ate half of a muskmelon. We came home, ate French bread pizza and watched the Olympics. I'd say that was a pretty good day.
