We had some beautiful weather yesterday afternoon. It was almost 60 degrees and mostly sunny. After Benj’s nap and lunchtime we needed to make a quick trip to the grocery store and upon leaving, it was just too nice to just go home. I considered a trip to the playground but everything was still soaking wet and muddy from the rain we’ve had the last few days. Then I thought about the beach, but the idea of trying to keep Benjamin from swimming did not seem like fun to me! Then I remembered our membership to the zoo. Perfect. And it was a great outing. There was almost no one there, we got there right as they were out training the elephants, and quite a few animals were out in the sun enjoying the warmth.
Julia’s favorite animals were the giraffes. This is appropriate because there is a baby giraffe who we’ve been watching grow up over the past year and her name is also Julia. I also noticed that Julia started asking more questions about the animals and their habitats and their eating habits. She also shared with me that she loves bamboo. She was very excited to see it and when I asked her why she liked it she said it was because she loves the leaves.
Benjamin had a great time watching the elephants. I was holding him so he could see better and he was practically trying to throw himself out of my arms and into the exhibit. We also had a great view of the snow leopard which we haven’t seen too much of in the past.
I enjoyed doing something different and getting my afternoon walk somewhere other than our neighborhood!
