Impromptu Zoo Trip

My sister texted me last night around 11p, saying the girls needed to see their Auntie and we should either go to the zoo or Splash Island. I was unsure if we should go or not because Mondays are usually a "chill" day and after staining the fence yesterday, staying at home sounded like a good idea, plus I have a lot of cleaning, etc to do inside. However, I decided to make the trip. We got to the zoo around 12:30/1 and didn't leave until around 4. It was HOT and HUMID and really compared to previous summers it wasn't really all that bad, but with the mild temps we've been having, today was just hot!  We all had a great time, plus there is a splash park in the zoo, so of course we did that. We also saw the tail end of the dog show and the newest exhibit, the orangutans!!!  The facility is beautiful but super crowded of course since it is brand new. We didn't get a great view of them since the windows were swarmed by people, but at least Natalie got upclose and personal since she is so small and could find her way to the front!  The one I actually got to take a picture of looked so sad, but according to his sign of info, he is supposedly considered the most handsome/attractive in the orangutan world!

It was a great day and I'm glad we went.
