The girls enjoyed a great day at the zoo with their cousins Peyton and Tyler. Henry Doorly Zoo is so big that there is no way a person could see it all in one day. We saw the Desert Dome and Kingdom of the Night. Mena was too scared to get into the "cave" with Maggie since it was so dark in the Kingdom of the Night. After that we visited the orangatan and gorillas.
We found a table to eat lunch at in the shade. I stayed with the kids while Beth stood in line for hot dogs for the kids. Then Beth sat with the kids while I stood in line to get she and I sandwiches. It was too much for one person to carry and way too long of a line for the kids to stand in.
The kids kept asking when we could go on the train so we did that after lunch. The girls and I sat two seats behind the engine so it was noisy with the engine and whistle. Even with all the noise, Maggie fell asleep on my lap on the second half of the round-trip ride. She went right back to sleep when I laid her in the stroller.
We have a picture of Mena and Peyton on a Turtle statue and wanted to replicate the picture, but we couldn't find the turtle. The gorilla was in the place we thought the turtle should have been so we took pictures on it instead. By the time we found it, Ty had fallen asleep, too!
Mena's favorite animal is the giraffe. After seeing the live ones we found the little statue. Peyton and Mena got their picture taken while the younger two continued to sleep.
