The National Zoo


We spent the day yesterday at the National Zoo with our good friends Greg (Grandpa) and Connie. On the way there we got to do some drive by siteseeing of things like the Washington Monument. Doesn't it look great? Notice the overcast sky - the rain held out all day for us!

Fortunately for us Greg has good connections and was able to get us tickets to view the baby panda.



I can't prove it, but I'm sure those people in the background did not have tickets for the baby panda.








The kids were happy that parts of the zoo had gone to the birds.















As you can see, Mami Nutt was shocked to learn that babies don't get delivered by a stork.

























This was my personal favorite, whoever can identify the animal from this picture of it's backside wins a prize. (Greg will happily use his "connection" to provide us with another set of panda tickets) Go ahead and put your guesses in the comments section!














Little D was adopted into the family after feeding them potato chips. Who knew that Gorilla's were such fans of barbecue?















It was a long day. We left the house at 8:00, and didn't get home until after 10:00(PM). The zoo is hilly, and double strollers are pretty heavy by the end of the day. (By the way Greg - there is already a patent for a motorized stroller.) Anyway - it is all worth it when you get a smile like this in return.
