The Zoo

I took the kids to the zoo the other day. It has been so rainy lately. So, we needed to get out & enjoy the sun while it was out. It was clear blue skies when we left & looked so nice out. Well, we got to the zoo & an hour later there was a down-pour!! It was raining buckets. I have no idea where those clouds came from. Holy cow! We got SO wet. We went into the restrooms to dry off with the electric hand dryer a little.

We had a lot of fun despite the rain! We saw all of the animals, had lunch, played in the water (like we needed to after that rainstorm), & then headed home- all tuckered out. We were exhausted! We took Matt's friend, Sean, with us (if you're wondering who the extra kid is in the pictures).

Here are some pics:

This is a sign that was posted about the white tiger that was supposed to be at the zoo, but had sprained it's ankle while playing, so he was resting. I thought it was funny that they posted a sign.
