Our family earned a trip to the zoo from our Fowler house cup a few months ago and we decided we'd better get there before the summer was over. We had a great time (despite the sporadic rainstorms) and it was a great way to end the summer.
Our favorites:
Greg had fun watching the cheetah. The cheetah was quite frisky running back and forth and pouncing on a large rock and chasing it around.
(Tresa) I have always loved giraffes. A few months ago a baby giraffe was born at Hogle Zoo. He is adorable. It was so great to see baby and mom interact. I also loved seeing the kid's enjoy themselves.
Gavin's favorite animal was the bashful buffalo we saw on the train ride. Funny, I know. He also liked the elephant.
Enoch had a great time on the train (surprise!). He also loved playing at the playground. He would sit in the giant egg and yell, "I love pie!". Then he would laugh and laugh at the echo. Everyone at the playground kept looking around to see who was yelling. Silly kid. He also enjoyed the lizards, snakes and bears.
Kate loved the bears. She is fascinated with bears. A few weeks ago at the Bean Museum, she gravitated toward the huge grizzly bears and would make cooing noises and gently pet their fur. She was also captivated by the Provest's Squirrel. He would jump around his cage and her eyes followed his every move. She would squeal and laugh when he got close to the glass.
We had a 'wild' time at the zoo and can't wait to go back!

What a fun day!! I love the story about Enoch and the egg! Such a funny kid.
Well, Enoch, I love pie, too! Such a good idea to tell the whole world--maybe you will get some! Dad and I love giraffes. We saw twin baby giraffes a week ago Saturday at Nairobi park. They looked just like the one at the zoo, so they are probably a couple of months old! You've gotta love giraffes! So glad you all had fun! I think your Fowler house cup is genius!
