More Zoo

What babydaddy fails to tell you -- and what the iphone camera couldn't quite capture -- is that she was actually quite pleased to see the gorilla a few feet from her. As she turned around from the glass with a huge smile, exciting and pointing to the gorilla, her mom had the camera ready . . . and the battery died before what would have been THE shot of the day. Sigh. Even her mom's backup camera's battery was done. Mental note: before the next big outing, recharge the battery. Still, babydaddy has a point, the non-animal aspects of the zoo were much more interesting to little Sloane, including the other kids, the pig mosaic and random tunnels leading seemingly to nowhere. Next time I think we'll pass on the "children's zoo" and head right to the chimps. We definitely did one thing right though -- get there when the zoo opens and get in and out in under two hours to be home in time for Sloane's nap. That's the perfect amount of zoo or museum time for one day.
