This week my company had a zoo day where we could all get a 1/2 day off and go to the zoo. In years past I haven't gone but this year I thought we would give it a go with the girls. We had lunch with my company and then went and saw the sites of the zoo. We went on a train ride which the girls liked. Most the animals they couldn't see. Either they were too far away or all the other kids would be right up against the glass blocking their view. I'm pretty sure they thought the kids and people at the zoo were the attraction cuz they did a lot of people watching.
By far however, the hit of the day were the Giraffes. We got there as they were feeding and brushing them and it just so happened there were only about 4 other people there. You can get so close to them. Both just stared at them as they were moving around and then Aria started babbling away at one of the giraffes, talking her head off to him. It was cute to watch their faces.
It was so hot that day but luckily we made sure they drank a lot and we found a lot of shade as we were walking. We were only there a total of about 2 1/2 hours but it was plenty long for us and the girls. They were ready for their naps. For their first time at the zoo, I thought it was a success and a fun afternoon not spent in the office.
