Today Carrie and I went to the zoo. I haven’t been to this zoo since I was quite small – we used to live just a couple of blocks from there, so I guess we used to go a lot. As an adult, I don’t like zoos. (Animal Kingdom at Disney being the one exception to that, because of the huge, expansive habitats that animals are in, instead of tiny little cages.) But I thought I shouldn’t deprive Carrie of the zoo experience just because I don’t like them.
And she did have a good time, although I’m *really* glad we brought the stroller, because the elephants were quite a walk to get to…and then an uphill walk to get back. Her favorites? The penguins and the geckos. Oh, and when I let her pick something out with the remainder of her Easter spending money from various relatives, she decided she wanted a mama and baby monkey set.
