An Evening at the Zoo


A few weeks ago we packed a dinner picnic and headed to the zoo for the evening. When you live in a crowded urban area, you start to learn the best times to visit places and for us, evening is the best time at the zoo. Parking is a cinch, there are no lines to get in, and once we're there we almost have the place to ourselves. Plus we've learned that the zoo stays open for an hour after they stop letting anyone else in. And they feed the animals in the early evening so you often get a good show.

During this particular evening, we had an incredible time watching the elephants out in their yard. They were very active and doing all kinds of interesting things like drinking water, playing with balls, and breaking large sticks with their trunks. And we saw all of this with nobody else around!



Ember, who's usually so confident, was scared of the elephants. She completely freaked out.
