A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to the LA zoo with my dad, sister and her two kids, and my two other nephews Brandon and Ayden (my sister was on a long overdue date with her hubby). Lily has never been to the zoo before so I knew she was going to have a lot of fun. We got there with no problems, and if you know me, you know how horrible I am at driving and managing any sort of directions (in desperate need of a GPS system I know!). The wait to get in was crazy, but as soon as we got in, it was a beautiful fun filled day full of a ton of walking. Lily was excited to see the elephants, since those just happen to be her favorite right now, unfortunately that part of the zoo was closed down but we did get to see one walk by. My nephew Noah was the most excited to see the animals by far, I swear that kid would have jumped in with them if he could, he cried so hard everytime we had to leave the animals. It was super sweet. Brandon has the appetite of an 8 year old for sure, I think he ate more than all of us combined!
The zoo was definitely fun... but kinda sad in a weird way. I feel bad for the animals, they should be in their natural environment roaming free. But.. I guess its educational for the kids and helps fun further programs for helping preserve what wildlife is left in this world.. although my kid seemed more interested in screaming out "mom... look at that gorillas big ole booty!".. oh well! Good for laughs :) On a side note.. they dont have those wax machines anymore where you can mold your own animal, that was a big time bummer, we were looking forward to that.
