Zoo

For Kaiden's birthday, we promised to take him to the zoo when the weather was warm.  So last week off to the zoo we went.  I don't know what it is about the zoo, but we always manage to get there on the hottest day of the week and when the train is not working!  At least the carousal was running and he got to ride the zebra!

It was warm, but there are a lot of big trees for shade and we had sunglasses, sunscreen, hats and water.It was warm, but there are a lot of big trees for shade and we had sunglasses, sunscreen, hats and water.

Several animals were eating from the hanging cages and Kaiden said "Look they are eating from pinatas."

This time we got to see the elephants - the last time we were here they had just moved into their new home and they were being allowed time to aclimate so we could not see them.  And of course that is what he wanted to see last time.

He love maps and he consulted this one all the time to make sure we were going where he wanted.  This time, he wanted to  see those birds that stand on one foot when they sleep.

We found them - just where the map said they would be.
