Zoo Visit

Saturday was his first visit to a zoo. This one was the National Zoo. It was the first weekend with nice weather we've had, so we decided to go. Unfortunately, so did about half of everybody who lives anywhere near.

We saw some animals we hadn't seen before, like this maned wolf from South America:

Not sure why, but there was a fire engine in the zoo, also.

We saw the famous pandas.

An Indian elephant:

I'm not sure how, but his mom gets the animals to look right at the camera.


They even had a dinosaur. It's a movie called The Enormous Egg from 1967. Elijah liked it.


Then he got to ride a bear.

We saw an alligator. We kept our distance.

Then we saw a dragon.

The whole trip was predictably exhausting for the little guy.
