The National Zoo

Yesterday we went to the National Zoo with our friends the Vlauns. Meg kindly offered to drive us since she has a zoo parking pass which saved us $20. It was a little on the Hot side but the kids had a great time once we got to the top of the massive hill the Zoo is on and then were going downhill the whole time. We packed a picnic lunch and spent over 4 hours wondering around and we didn't even see half of the Zoo. Some favorites from the day were when Aidan yelled out there is the Cheetoh at the Cheetah when he saw it. The giant panda bear, the lions and elephants were a huge hit also. Of course, ending the day going through the sprinklers and getting ice cream is always a hit with both the Moms and kids. We will definitely head there again when it cools off some.
