What a Zoo!

It was a very hot morning at the zoo. We realized when we got there that we should have planned a weekday visit instead because of how busy it was. It took us almost as long to find a parking spot as it did to walk there! We missed the giraffes, which are Nater's favorite so we will have to see those next time. The highlight of Nate's day was the ice cream; he was so excited when he saw someone else eating it and he kept saying, "eggeen, eggeen!" Toddler talk for ice cream. After we told him, "We're going to find you some; we'll get some..." he continuously reminded us by saying, "Get some. Get some."

It would have been nice to see the conservatory, not to mention the rides we walked by. Nate would have loved to ride the train. We'll have to do that next time too. It just got too hot and too close to his naptime. Good thing we had lots of snacks and water! Gavin slept right through the adventure with the exception of our pit stop for a diaper change under a shady tree.
