A Morning At The Zoo

And, no, I'm not talking about a typical morning in my life.  Although, at times it can be considered a zoo around my house.

I hadn't had a playdate with my granddaughter Berkley for awhile and wanted to spend some time with her.  I heard that Cyndie and Tim were taking Seamus there, so Gregg and I decided to tag along with Berkley.

It was a gorgeous day in Phoenix, so everyone else had the same idea, but it wasn't too bad.  It was so fun to see the kid's reactions to the animals.  Especially at the petting zoo.  A couple of highlights were when we were by the bear exhibit, the black bear must have been hungry because he was pounding on the door where his food comes out of.  You could tell he was one strong dude as he "boxed" at the door with his fists.  It sounded like the door was going to break down.  We also went into the monkey exhibit where you can walk amongst the (small) monkeys as they perform their antics.  There is a rope that they crawl across that goes right over your head, you just have to hope they don't decide to potty when you're under them.

Seamus and Berkley had a good time and were the best behaved kids I have ever seen.




Seamus was a real trooper


Berkley said "Hi" to all the goats. 



This one was named Brownie,  He started wagging his tail
and Berkley tried to grap it, but he was wagging it too fast.



The tags on the toys are always more fun than the toy itself.

We ate lunch next to the Giraffe exhibit.



By noon we were worn out, so we headed home.  Even Berkley said she wanted to take a nap on the way home.
