The zoo

Monday was Columbus day, and Brad was off work and Lauren didn't have school.  It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go the the zoo!  Lauren said she was really excited to see the giraffes and Alison was excited to see the bunnies.  I wasn't so sure about the bunnies, but she was just excited to see the animals.

It took a little bit to get there because there was some traffic, but we got there around 10:45 and stayed until about 1:15, which was perfect.  We saw gorillas, monkeys, giraffes, cheetahs, lions, and even bunnies!  There is a nice children's zoo and they had a whole little space just for the bunnies, so Alison was very excited to see the bunnies!  She was scared of the ducks, however.  The funniest thing we saw was the gorilla eating a phone book.

We packed a picnic lunch, and ate right beside the carosuel, so Lauren took two rides and Alison actually went on once as well, and she stayed on the whole time!  So maybe she has outgrown her fear of the carosuel!

All in all, it was a great trip and we all look forward to going back again!
