Brady left to go to Washington D.C. early Thursday morning. He is re-networking an office for one of his clients. Hailey was terribly upset that he was leaving. I told her we would go do some fun things so I took the children to the zoo. It was an okay trip for me. I was hot and my legs were tired from pushing the double stroller around. My highlight was seeing the Galapagos turtles and hearing Hunter said "turtle" a few times. Hailey enjoyed the Carosel ride, the flamingos, the elephants and having chocolate Dippin Dots ice-cream for the first time. Hunter enjoyed seeing the gigantic lion cat, the elephants and riding on the train. He loved hearing the whistle especially! Hailey wanted to play on the really neat playground but it was just too sunny and I wasn't too game on sitting there for a long time. I opted to take her to the park instead. After putting them in the car with some cool air, they both crashed for about an hour.

These 2 elephants will be here for a few more weeks and then are going to the Tulsa zoo for a few years. The man on the train ride said they are hoping they come back with baby elephants!

Hunter staying in the stroller for most of the zoo trip. I got him upclose to most everything and he didn't seem to mind. He was happing looking around.
