Zoo

Once a week Andrew has a three hour break in the afternoon between patients. We have tried to find things to do with him during those three hours since he is gone long hours right now. We figured since the zoo is about a mile away from his school it works out perfect. Last week we picked him up and headed to the zoo. They have it set up for the Zoo Boo and it is fun to see. We had a picnic lunch of PB and honey and Andrew and I had Tuna. We had some yummy apples and green peppers and then finished off our sugar cookies from Monday. We then enjoyed just walking around the zoo. We had had severe weather the night before and a ton of rain so it was a little cool but warmed up quickly! When I told Ella we were going to the zoo she requested that the first thing we see is the crocodile. So we went over to where they keep it and the snakes and other reptiles. They enjoyed walking around in there, it creeps me out to see big snakes! We enjoyed seeing the hippos, elephants, monkeys, and giraffes and then it was time to get dad back to school! It was so fun to get out and spend time with Andrew we feel like we never get to do anything with him and we haven't had a Saturday in the last two months free to do anything so it was a real treat!

You can see the crocodile if you zoom in I think!

The hippos was right up against the fence and eating all the leaves in sight. It was fun to see it so up close!
