We had a very impromptu trip to the zoo yesterday. It was pretty hot but we still had a great time. My mom came too which was nice because I definitely think one adult per kid is a good ratio for a zoo trip. Emily liked the Monkeys best but I feel like we didn't even get to see half of what they have to offer. Mark did well and he really did look at all the animals and displays. I think he liked the monkeys best too. Everyone always says an hour or so is enough at the zoo, so I let Mark take his morning nap at home and then figured we would stay from about 11:00-12:30 at zoo and then be home for naps. But, we got there at 12 and had to drag Emily out at 2. Next time we will get there first thing and stay until lunch. And I think we will wait until it is no longer 100+ degrees out. Although they have a lot to offer even in the heat.
