Zoo

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we didn’t have any plans and it was a beautiful day, so we decided to take Ava to the zoo. It wasn’t crowded at all and since we have annual passes we don’t try to see everything at every visit. We just take our time and see what Ava wants to see and when she gets tired we leave- it is an easy (and inexpensive) thing we can do as a family.

 

Ava wanted to see the giraffe’s first and then we went and visited with the elephants and the monkeys and we also walked through the bird and fish area. All at Ava’s request.

 

When we stopped at the one of the monkey exhibits and it was the funniest thing we watched in a while! They were playing and chasing each other. So very entertaining. Ava didn’t know what to think at first. We stood and watched them for probably 20 minutes and then they started feeding them lunch so we got to see that as well.

It was a nice relaxing day for us- which we needed before the craziness of Christmas begins.
