What was I thinking when I promised my kids I'd take them to the zoo today? I was probably thinking "It's spring!" And while it technically is spring, it sure didn't feel like it this morning! We froze our bottoms off at the zoo this morning! Mittens, toques and ski jackets and we were still Popsicles by the time we left. But, despite the frozen runny noses, we had a LOT of fun (if you ignore the end - when Katie was whining about sore legs, Carson kept losing his mittens and Logan wouldn't stop campaigning to stop and buy lunch).
The good part about it being so cold was that there was hardly anyone else there. We got to spend a lot of time inside watching the penguins. Carson was scared at first and started to cry when one swam up to the glass. He wasn't overly impressed.
We also spent a looooong time watching the hippos swim (mainly because it was so nice and warm in "Africa"!!)
Carson really perked up when we went out to see the Lions. He kept roaring in the stroller. The lions were actually AWAKE and playing! One was batting a ball around right infront of us.
My camera lens kept fogging up inside the gorrila house, so we couldn't get any pictures of the funny gorilla frunning around with a burlap sack stuck over his head.
Carson also seemed to enjoy the elephants (but he might have really just been enjoying the heated buidling). By this point everyone was getting a little fed up with mom always making them pose for pictures.
The next time we go to the zoo, it'll be a WHOLE lot warmer!!
