The zoo

We went to the zoo on Monday (Mason and I) with Auntie April and Uncle Jeremy (the ones who live here), Auntie Missa and friend, Jessica. It was an ominous looking day, and sure enough, it started raining about five minutes after we got there. Well, we had paid $10 a piece to be there (except for Mason, he was free) and it was better than scorching heat, so we stuck to it. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures because of the rain. But then around about two hours in, the rain stopped and by the time we left, it was sweltering, hot and muggy. So I didn't take too many pictures after the rain, because I was too tired.

Anyway, the trip was a chance to try out Mason's new wheels that Auntie April bought for him.


It's a two-seater, but he was in it by himself most of the time. Jessica brought her two year old sister, Emily, but she was shy and wouldn't get in it til near the end of the trip. It was really nice though, it kept him happy so I didn't have to carry him the whole time, and it was convenient for the bags too.

We saw elephants.

Mason was impressed with how big they were.

There were cool little squirrel monkeys (or were they spider monkeys? I forget. Anyway they were cool. They were wall jumping and being cute.)

But Mason was more interested in playing with his wagon, or as Uncle Jeremy put it, "The Tech."

Jeremy seems to think Mason did well, ignoring the animals and the girl (for the most part anyway) in favor of the "The Tech."

We also saw hippos. It always surprises me to see them out of water, they are so big! I'm amazed they can stand up!

We had fun. But we were tired when we came home and took a nice nap together.
