On the way home from Grandma and Grandpa's House, we went to the zoo. Rachel and Adam stayed at my parents, so they did not go to the zoo, but we had everyone else except John and Ruth who were at home.
Personally, I liked the museum a whole lot more than the zoo. The North Carolina does well giving the animals nice places to live, but there were very few animals that we could see because their homes were so big or they were locked in door. Also there was a ton of walking. The Zoo closed before we could see the African animals, so that really stank and we had to run to the exit before we got locked out, and even then we had to catch a bus to take us back to our van that was parked on the other side of the zoo. Because we do not have phones and there were not a lot of people around, we did not know how much time had passed.
However, the kids report that they actually had a lot of fun at the zoo and they want to go back and get the African animals. We might be able to do that again at some point. Eliza was tired at the zoo and did not want to walk and did not want Johnny to carry her and was rather fitful. Maybe, we should have brought a stroller, but Eliza hasn't stayed in the stroller willingly since she could walk at 10 months, so I doubt that would have solved our problems. Johnny got a lot of exercise.
Now for all of our zoo pictures.
