105 degrees heat index, husband busy at work, and what did I do today? I went to the zoo. See? That's why you have to give themes to your summer weeks, because it guilts you into doing wonderful things for your children that no sane person would do.
So I reminded the kids that I had no help from dad and they had to be good. They always take pity on me when I am by myself and act ike perfect angels. We rocked that zoo. And the animals were really workin' it today!
What we learned:
*Giraffes can lick inside their nostrils with their tongue.
*Bonobo babies are cute. The adult females Bonobos are even more awesome.
*Otters get out of the water to poop. And the smell of the poop is so bad it permeates the entire exhibit. Otters are also camera-hogs.
*Ants like elephant exhibits. So much so that you have to watch the elephants from the reptile house in order to avoid being bitten.
*The red-legged Sierna (or something like that) likes to lay right next to the walking path and look dead. Seriously, they don't curl up or lay down, they just look like they plopped down all funky-like. (I almost reported the injured and dying bird, until I saw a sign posted saying, "This bird isn't dead or injured, he just lays down like that.")
Okay, the kids slept on the way home and now they are up and full of energy . . . where's my nap?????
