Just a few fun facts about the Zoo...
When you go, you will be amazed at the attention/love/devotion paid to the metal statue animals and the flippant disinterest/indifference/apathy paid to the actual live animals. Or so it seems.
When you go, you may take an older niece who will aptly point out the fact that "you've been taking pictures this whole time without an SD card in the camera". For the record, I give older nieces two thumbs up. And then I dig through the camera bag for another SD card. Cause I'm a girl scout that way... a ditzy girl scout, but a prepared one nonetheless. :)
When you visit the beloved Zoo you will cringe every time one of your little animals goes for a drink at that blasted lion drinking fountain. They don't get phased AT ALL when the water doesn't arch high enough... nope, they just plant their little kissers right on the base of the spout. And I die a little bit every time.
When you go to the zoo you will become increasingly amazed at the size... I used to think the zoo was ginormous. Truth is, it may not be very big, and maybe the tiger exhibit was closed even though that's all my two-year-old wanted to see, but listen... there is something a tiny bit charming about the zoo that gets me. It's the little zoo that could. Plus the giraffes, you know?
Fun fact: Those tongues are blue so they don't get sunburned! Giraffes sleep VERY rarely (only about a half hour every day) so most of the time they are eating and their tongues are out A LOT.
Listen, I'm just sharing information at this point that may or may not serve you well later in life on Jeopardy or Cash Cab.
When you go to the zoo it will be confirmed that all your little monkeys are indeed in their infant/juvenile state. I mean, I knew it, but it's nice to have a reason for so much chaos.
If you're lucky, when you go to the zoo, Grandma will buy you a ticket to ride the train.
Animals + Train = A solid four minutes of quiet, studious entertainment.
That's gold.
Bonus... we spotted the elusive Ace Face in his natural habitat being handled by the teenaged nephew for the double win.
BAM.
