Our Trip to the Zoo

Corey was excited about going to the zoo because it now has a rock wall to climb. Unfortunately, due to the high winds today, they closed this feature. He was totally rockin' in the reptile house. He was all about the snakes, lizards, turtles, and critters. He also enjoyed the gorillas. Corey has to complete 2 projects using water during the summer for his new school. One of them is to get his picture made with 5 bodies of water. I got his picture at the Wetlands and the otter exhibits at the zoo. He also can use this trip to the zoo to satisfy one of his boy scout projects. We think it was worth "skipping" school for.


Grace's favorite thing at the zoo today was the carosel. We had to ride 3 times before we got off with her screaming. At the playground, she loved this red and yellow see-saw. Of course, she screamed when we left it also. And her favorite animal seemed to be the elephants. She also enjoyed the petting zoo and screamed when we left it also.



You may notice that Pete and Tyler appear not to be with us. They are at Jekyll Island with Ty's 5th grade class. They are suppose to be taking pictures for me to post later. Pete called to tell me something about a lot of mud in the marsh and kids being hosed off outside. I am so sure that they are miserable. I think that even though we are not all together, everyone is having a good time. Corey will have a baseball game tomorrow and Pete and Ty should come home Wednesday. Pete feels like I do "Ohhhh, my aching legs"!
