Last Friday we took a trip to the ZOO! We had so much fun. My friends Mandy and Martha, along with their children, Caroline, Will, Joe Gunn, and Hollyn joined Abigail and I on an adventure. It was a beautiful day to enjoy God's beautiful creations! It seemed at times that we were the only people at the zoo, so the kids had a lot of freedom to run ahead and enjoy themselves. As mothers it was great because we did not have to search for them or keep them close all day. We were able to see a lot of the animals up and moving because it was a nice cool morning. While watching the elephants and looking for the zebras we had snack time and then off to see the monkeys. It was so awesome when we strolled up to the chimps.......there was a zoo keeper standing there feeding the chimps. He was so nice and talked to us for a long time answering all of our questions. The best part was getting to see the little baby...aka...Mo Joe.
The zoo keeper said he was born in March and showed us who the mother and father were. He was the cutest little thing. Us moms more more intrigued than the kids! We had a wonderful picnic lunch, many.........trips down the elephant slide and of course it is not a visit to the zoo with out a ride on the carousel. It was a wonderful day with wonderful friends, that ended with a really long nap!!!
I LOVE GIRAFFES.......They are beautiful creatures!
