Trip to the Zoo

This past Wednesday, I took the kiddos I watch to the zoo.  Why would I go to the zoo when it's 100 degrees outside? (1) I like the zoo. (2) Kids like the zoo.  (3) Admission was $1.  (4) I still hadn't seen the new elephant exhibit or the baby elephant.  Anyways, we packed up and went to the zoo along with my brother...it was very nice of him to come too.

  

My thoughts:

• The new elephant exhibit is legit, and the baby elephant is cute...for a baby elephant, I guess.  
• I wish the two dead ends at the back of the zoo connected to each other, so you could walk in a loop and not have to back track to get to the other side.  
• I don't like the herpetorium in general, but especially when cute baby mice are in the food dish.
• The old shark tank and dolphin tank still creep me out.
• The zoo needs LOTS of Scentsy because the buildings STINK.
• Having a water playground in the Children's Zoo is genius.
• I was disappointed in the lack of big cats, especially TIGERS.  Did they kill those off like the dolphins, or did they just go on holiday to the north until it cools off?   

Here we are on a baby elephant statue, which is apparently in the middle of an elephant graveyard: 

I obviously haven't done any cooking or baking since Wednesday.  However, tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday look promising for some yummy stuff! Have a great Saturday!
