Zoo

We went to the local zoo this am.  After being randomly detoured off 288, we made it there much later than hoped.  Peter wasn't as excited about it as I'd hoped he be.  But we were thrilled to have Mike with us & have a family outting.  Definately wouldn't have done that alone.

We learned that the giraffe's tongue is dark so that it doesn't get sunburned.

Posing with the zebra...

The Lion is just behind Peter's back...

Peter didn't enjoy it quite as much as it appears in these pics... ;). There was a some kicking and tantruming, letting him lead the way and time that needed to be spent in the backpack.  I think he still likes Meadow Farm better... its a lot cheaper.  But the part he told us he liked best was driving this "Jeep" (good to remember since it cost 50 cents and zoo admission for the 3 of us was $30).  Another note to self: don't go on Fridays, I am not exaggerating when I say that 6-8 elementary and preschools were there so loads and loads of children.
