The Zoo

We finally made the trek out to the zoo for Kieran since he finished his study on animals. I have to say that it seems we go to the zoo more for the playground than for the animals. Our zoo is on the smaller side with lots of small animals that hide in their habitats so you are often lucky to catch glimpses of half of them. Today they had a scavenger hunt for all the kids and everyone who finished it got a free jump rope. So we came home with 6 jump ropes. I decided Gabe really did not need one yet. We almost lost one scavenger hunt list when it fell into the elephant habitat. The kids were most upset when I said we were not going over the fence to retrieve it so they tracked down a large stick to remove it with. Took some time and patience but eventually they rescued it. So we saw a few animals, met up with a few friends and brought home new toys. And now the little ones are napping. Any trip that wears the kids out a bit is always a good one.
