We are very lucky to have a beautiful local park that is also home to a variety of different animals (from ducks & monkeys to tigers & zebra). On Cory & my week of the 4th off we decided to take a day trip & explore another zoo about 1 ½ hours away for something new & different. We visited this zoo one time last year with the boys & our close friends and had a really good time.
Monday was forecasted to be another hot day – so we headed out early, right after breakfast. The boys don’t normally take a morning nap but because of the long car ride – they both slept the entire way over! They were nice & rested when we arrived! This zoo has free admission (which is awesome, but donations are accepted) & it has a variety of other animals we don’t get to see at our local zoo.
We saw monkeys, gorillas, penguins, seals, a grizzly bear, polar bears, bison, lions, tigers, giraffes & zebras. We took turns visiting animals outside in the heat & inside in the air conditioning. We also ate our lunch inside to get out of the heat for a bit. We were finishing up shortly after lunch, when the heat of the day was getting to be a little too much to bare. We packed up in the truck & blasted the AC to cool down. After such an exciting morning, & from being a little overheated, the boys again feel asleep shortly after leaving the zoo & slept the whole way home (as did Cory!).
It was such a fun visit to the zoo & wonderful family day.
