We headed to the zoo on Tuesday morning. We saw lots of fun animals and had a picnic lunch there. My favorites were the sea lions and the orangutans'. I think the kids liked the sea lions best too. After we had seen all the animals we could handle we took a ride on the train around the zoo. I was ready to be off my feet for awhile so it was a nice relaxing ride. We were able to catch a glimpse of the baby elephant from the train that we hadn't seen before. After about 4 hours in the zoo we went down the road to a park and let the kids play while Bethany tried to figure out her gps so we could find a geo cache. These are little treasure boxes that are left around and to find them you go on line to the area you are at and get the gps coordinates then try to actually track them down. We found one pretty easy and then finally succeeded in finding the other we were looking for. The kids each brought a small toy that they left in the box and got to pick out a new one that someone else had left. We headed home just before supper time and picked up pizzas for supper. The kids ate and played and then we all went to Evan's T-ball practice. When we got home we got the kids bathed and bedded down once again. Of course Bethany and I stayed up visiting until late again. We woke up the next morning and left around 10am. We had so much fun being with Bethany and her family. It's the first time I have visited her in her own place and she is a fabulous cook and hostess. Evan skipped school for the two days we were there so I'm sure they were glad to get back to their regular routine once we took off.
