Yesterday daddy got to take work off and we went to the Zoo :)! I'm usually not a fan of the zoo (something about caged-in animals that seem so depressing). But, when kids are involved, somehow it changes the atmosphere and makes it okay. We all had so much fun! The weather was beautiful and everyone was just in a great mood. We got to see lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, zebras, elephants, giraffes, penguins, cheetahs, and all sorts of animals. Samuel and Sofia spent the day as each animal as we walked from one place to the other (Samuel always the daddy-animal, and Sofia the mommy, of course). Samuel's favorite was the lions that we got to see being feed (they fed them horse-meat...a surprise to me. Samuel was fascinated by how the lions tore into the meat and wondered why we also don't eat horses. (He also wondered who it was that killed the horses to give to the lions.) Sofia's favorite was the mommy orangutang holding her little baby orangutang. She was amazed at how the baby clung to her mommy and how the mommy would feed her (just how Sofia's mommy feeds Emmy). Sofia walked around for the next half hour being the mommy and pretending to hold her baby orangutang in her arms. So adorable! We came home after being there for nearly 7 hours all happy tired and glad. :)
