Goin to the Zoo, Zoo Zoo

Today was a trip to the zoo with Oma and Poppa and the kids. Danelle missed out as she had to work. We got to see one of the elephants getting a bath. The elephant just laid down while the zookeepers washed her down with a hose. The baby elephant, Samudra, or Sammy, is now an 1100 lb todler. Both of the kids enjoyed watching the baby elephant run around the exhibit.

Another highlight of our trip was a ride on the zoo train. Kellen really liked waving to people at the crossings and also got excited whenever the train blew its horn. Kristin enjoyed an interactive exhibit about chimpanzees. In the photo she is doing a rope swing.

We ate lunch at the zoon and then came home in time for Kellen to sneak in a late nap. Kristin made out during this time, doing separate arts and crafts projects with both Oma and Poppa.

No pool tonight, as the high was in the low 70s today. More of the same for the rest of the week.

Kellen came down with a cough today, I'll probably take him in to see the pediatrician tomorrow. We'll see how he sleeps tonight.
