Celebrating with a Picnic at the Zoo

What better way to celebrate the end of the nasty E. Coli virus than a picnic at the zoo! The zoo stays open till 9pm on Thursdays so we thought we'd beat the heat and have a picnic after 6pm. We picked up Subway sandwiches and packed some fruit, chips and drinks to go along with them. First we stopped off to the feed the ducks which were very happy to see us as you can see from how they were swarming around us. Once in the zoo we picked out a shady spot in the grass to have our picnic. So much for beating the heat, it was insanely hot even in the shade! After we ate our picnic dinner we took a ride on the beloved zoo choo choo train. Then we took off to see the animals and I will say they were more active than they are in the mornings and afternoons in fact one of the cougars was hissing at and stalking our stroller, it turned into a game of tormenting the poor cat with the stroller but it was the most exciting trip to the zoo I have had in a long time. Other than the heat it was a great way to celebrate our sweet girl feeling better!
