Fall zoo trip

Wednesday, October 29
This was the perfect day to go to the zoo. The weather was in the upper 60s to low 70s and there were very few people there. A lot of the animals were active, especially the tiger and quite a few of the monkeys. All of the kids, even Baby K had fun on the train ride. The kids also enjoyed watching the 3 baby meerkats. We also watched some trainers trying to get one of the camels on a slightly raised platform so they could weigh it - and Mabel was not cooperating! She reminded me of my kids sometimes. The trainers were trying to bribe her with treats and goodies and she would get her front two feet on the platform and then she would get down and go around to get to the treats. After several tries they decided that she would have to work harder to earn her treats and they were refusing to give any to her until she cooperated more. I got some cute pictures of the kids there as well - it's so hard to get all 5 of them looking at the camera and looking cute at the same time!
