To the DC Zoo...

On a fall like Thursday we packed up the car and adventured to our Nation's Capital to visit the zoo with Grammy, Pop-pop, Aunt Na, Uncle R. I am pretty sure both babies were more then excited, because they woke up at 7 am (instead of their usual 9 am), and the first words out of Blake's mouth was "Bye bye get Poppy?"

Before we could leave we had to work thru OT with Addison first so we had a wait ahead of us. Blake would hear none of it. He insisted he need a "sirt" and "tants" and "sues". And threw a huge fit when I made him wait. But finally we were on our way. They napped in the car so they were ready to go when we arrived...

We saw cows that go "Mooooo"

 

And goats....

 

And wild boar too...

 

And otters (or maybe it was a seal?)

And the elephants too..

And tropical birds...

And a lizard (or gecko) too...

Lions (but no bears)

 

And alligators...

 

And who could forget about our Pop-pop...

And Grammy

 

And Aunt Na (and the turtles) too!

 

(Daddy & Uncle R dodged the camera most of the day...there's always next time.)

 

 

I am pretty sure we all enjoyed ourselves. The weather was perfect, not hot at all. We enjoyed a pinic lunch and the babies just loved their new wheels. The air was so nice out that they also enjoyed a nap in their stroller again. They talked most of the way home and while it wasn't in Adult English I am sure they were recounting the the adventures of the day and telling us just how much fun they had.
