The Zoo.....

So, in the midst of one of my mental episodes where I forget everything that I am supposed to remember for the week, Ian missed going to the zoo with his scout troop. He was highly upset to say the least and I felt horrible about it. To make it up to him, I went ahead and took him to the zoo last week along with Addison and Soren, of course. I havent been to the zoo in a while and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It was so relaxing to let the kids run and be happy and not have to worry about them breaking something or messing up the house. I also enjoyed watching my nephew Soren discover all of the animals. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We even went on the Carousel and the train. There were a lot of babies that had been born at the end of the Summer and my favorite was the little baby elephant Zuri. I couldnt take my eyes off of her, she was so cute. The worst part was that when we first arrived I took out my camera and to my dismay, the battery was dead. It was one of those special lithium batteries so I couldnt just buy some new ones....I just couldnt fathom not having pictures of the event so I bought one of those archaic disposable camera's. The kids could not understand why I had to take the camera to store to get it "developed"..... "why cant you just pull it up on the computer mom!" How weird that they dont know anything but digital! So, not the greatest quality of pictures but better than nothing...... enjoy.
