Impromptu Zoo Trip

On Sunday, September 15, we woke up to an unseasonably cool, beautiful morning. What do parents in the DC area do when it is unseasonably cool during the low-tourism season? They go to the zoo, of course! It was a great day. I love having such a great (free) zoo so close by.

The orangutans climbed up this structure and took the wires across the park to the other enclosure where they are fed lunch.

 

The boys were more excited about the carousel than the orangutans. It's got all kinds of animals and is solar-powered. So I agree that it is pretty cool!

 

On the way out, we stopped to see the big cats.
