Elephants, Donkeys & Pandas oh my!

What a fun morning we had at the Zoo this morning! It was a moms club event. The elephant bath & tricks were sooo much fun. My kids in particular were just completely taken with the whole scrubbing and hosing the elephant down!

Before going this morning & last night, we had to read Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack & What's for lunch? Two of their favorite books, featuring elephants of course!! I had no idea that elephants had such BIG FEET!!!

I was amazed just watching this huge animal do as he was told, getting down onto his knees, and rolling over. We walked around, and visited the monkeys & apes, the kimono dragon, the panda exhibit, kissed some donkeys, and watched the cows. The only disappointing part of the entire day was that the "kids pizza" playground was closed or under some kinda construction! We were all hoping we could release the kids from their strollers and wear them out before loading up and going home! We were able to make do down at the kid's farm while checking out the cows, goats and ducks!

There is just so much to see at DC Zoo, that we're going to need many, many, moms day outs here!

Tomorrow is park & a picnic!
