A day at the ZOO!

Nathan's Easter Seal therapist asked our family if we wanted to go to the Zoo with her and her kids. She is allowed to take one family with her a year and she asked us. I was a little hesitant because of the heat! It was July after all! In Columbia!!! But, we decided to head out early and leave before it got too hot. We picked the perfect day! It was overcast and not too humid! And we got home before 1pm! Perfect! Nathan LOVED the zoo! We had a special pass that allowed us to do everything. The kids rode the train (you know that was a hit with Nathan) and Bailyn and Nathan got to ride a pony! I wasn't sure if Nathan would do it....but he did....and LOVED IT! Christopher was too tall....but to his disappointment. But, he and Bailyn rock climed and had a great time. They both were able to reach the top several times. The kids fed a Giraffe (which totally freaked Nathan out! The black tongue alone :)) and they were able to walk in with the kangaroos! All of the animals were out and we saw them all. Nathan's favorite animal was the giraffe and zebra. He also loved the monkeys! Bailyn did all of the photography that day and did a great job! We had a great time getting to know Gene and her kids better too! A wonderful trip to the zoo!
