VACATION - DAY 5




On Wednesday we went to the Hogle zoo. It was a very entertaining day. We saw every animal we were hoping to see except for a hippo. We might have missed it, or maybe there isn't one there. I think the funniest part of the day was when we were walking over to see the monkeys and all of a sudden,we could hear this strange noise.????? Turns out, it was a monkey "singing". Oh man it was funny. We also saw a cute baby elephant which was mesmorizing. It was great to slowly make our way around the zoo and enjoy the weather, the sights and the sounds. I did NOT like the "Night time Terrors" exhibition. Spiders, and scorpions and cockroaches........so freaky gross. The craziest thing was that there were bats just hanging from the trees!! In NO cages!! (insert barfing noise)
It was amazing to realize how majestic and peculiar some animals really are.

After we were done at the zoo, we came back to the condo and went for an afternoon swim. I am pretty sure we could have spend each and every day of our vacation at the pool only, and the kids would have not been happier. They just loved swimming in an outdoor pool. After our swim and supper, we took the kids to go do a little shopping and see a movie.

Another wonderful day.
