Since going to the zoo was on our summer to-do list, we spent the last Saturday of our summer vacation doing exactly that. Procrastinating has its perks because we are able to enjoy the zoo with unseasonably cool temperatures. Seventy-two degrees in mid-August? Sign us up.
The downside is that the zoo was having a "discount day," meaning that the zoo was as crowded as I have ever seen, but we persevered nonetheless.
We haven't been to the zoo in a couple of years, meaning that it was William George's first time to see the animals. He likes the elephants...
...but his absolute favorites were the "raffies". He was fascinated with them, and they remind him of his beloved B Cloud giraffe that he sleeps with each night.
Needless to say, we needed to line up and feed the giraffes.
George probably would have stood there for an hour feeding the raffies, but we were shooed away to make room for those next in line.
Lauren and Grace liked seeing all of the other animals, but George was not impressed. We finally hopped on the train as a nice distraction. Since everyone loves the choo-choo, smiles returned.
The train whistle made George a little nervous so he kept a close hand on Skip. Otherwise, he settled in and enjoyed the ride.
When the crowds really descended on the zoo, we decided to leave and grab lunch.
Since we renewed our membership (bypassing the long entrance lines), George will be returning to feed his beloved raffies many times this fall.
