As much as we are watching our children to see what they do with thier lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

National Zoo

We took a day trip to the National Zoo in DC last week.  I went to the DC zoo often as a child since I grew up near DC however I have not been there in a few years.  It was a treat to take my kids there.  We meet Eddie at the zoo and the girls LOVED spending time with their PopPop.

Sophia is ready to see the animals!
Sophia enjoyed checking out the bronze monkey. She even held his hand.
Lucy, the 37 year old orangutan, was laying against a window checking us out.  I was told by a tour guide that Lucys loves kids and babies. She laid against the window with her body very still and her eyes looking at all of us.  She was really cute!

The weather was great and actually pretty warm.  The round trip drive (6 hours total) was not so fun.  Despite being exhausted and pinching myself to stay awake on the return car ride, it was a fun filled day.
