We left home at 10:00, presumably with plenty of time to get there by 11. However, things did not quite work out that way. We ran into a huge group of motorcycles riding together on Route 32. Police motorcyclists were blocking all of the on and off ramps as the group drove because they were riding in the right lane. This made for such a traffic mess and our first delay. Then the navigation system took us all through the city to get to the zoo, which was a disaster too. All of the lights were only letting a few cars through at a time, so it just took forever. And since we were sitting still more than we were driving, Hunter started crying, so I needed to crawl into the backseat to hold his pacifier in his mouth to calm him down. We didn't make it to the zoo until almost 11:30 and needless to say, I was quite annoyed! Peyton, however, was super excited because he is just in love with animals right now.
We met everyone by the lions and the tigers. While we waited, Peyton wanted to take his picture in front of this tiger (which was actually a water fountain).
Peek-a-boo Peyton!
Peyton checking out the prairie dogs. He liked pointing them out when they popped their heads out of their little holes.
Once again, Hunter was there with us, but slept the entire time except when we woke him up to feed him.
It was a really hot day, so we only stayed at the zoo for about three hours, one of which we spent eating inside an air conditioned restaurant. Peyton loved seeing the animals, but it was a pretty miserable day overall (for me at least!) with the traffic and heat.Sunday was the last day that we spent with Ryan, Becky, and the girls before they had to go home. I'll blog about that another time.
