Zoo with G & G Fowler

We went to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa Fowler.  The kids were so excited to show them all their favorite animals.  We rode the new train, which Guard adored.  He asked to ride it again and again.  We could have just stayed on that for two hours and he would have been happy.
The new African Savannah exhibit was open and it is fantastic.  The lions, zebras, ostriches and guinea fowl were out - no giraffes yet.  The lions came right up to the window and were checking out Guard.  Hmm...looks like a snack.
We did all the zoo stuff, including losing Enoch, which we do every time we go.  A lot of the animals were not very active, it was a very hot afternoon.  The biggest hit was the splash pad in Rocky Shores.  The kids loved it!  They played until the sun went down and they got too cold.  After a few trips to the zoo earlier in the summer, Mom has learned to bring towels and dry jammies in the car to change in to at the end of the day.
It was so much fun to go with Grandma and Grandpa.  For days after, Guard kept saying, "animals papa, animals papa."  I'm glad we squeezed in one last trip to the zoo this summer.
