Zoo!

With Rob's new schedule having him sleeping through the bulk of the day I decided we need to find somethings to do outside the house so we thought we would give the local zoo a try. We had been going to the National Zoo in DC and loved it, but at our new house that's now an hour a way at least. Anything that contains the word "Baltimore" is a little sketchy to me, but it's only 10 minutes from the house. I'm so glad we tried it!! We ended up buying a zoo pass that day so we can go all the time! Unfortunately, the first day we went there (last Friday) was Zoo-Day-From-Hell, aka Pre-k Day. There were TONS of kids everywhere and not a lot of space to be found. These pics are all from that day. On Saturday it rained all night and Sunday after breakfast at 'the pancake store' we thought we'd give it another go. Our car was one of about 8 in the parking lot! We walked around for an hour an a half and only ran into two other families the whole time. It was like we had the place to our selves and it was a lot of fun!! The morning after a rain is apparently the best zoo time!

Getting ready to go!

We found this little grassy hill to have a picnic on that was right across from the elephants so the whole time we got to watch them training with the zoo keepers! It was so great!

Henry wanted to climb so bad!

All I can say is the Baltimore Zoo is GREAT! Next time you come to visit we'll take you there. Our pass is for us and an adult and kid guest!! Pack those bags!
