Mandy and I took Gracie and Makenzie to the Zoo a few Saturday's ago. It was a nice day; however, I wasn't completely thrilled with the Zoo. They have a lot of work to do! There were only a few exhibits open. It was a little disappointing.
Afterward, we headed to the National Harbor. We took the girls to eat at Ketchup then headed to Ben and Jerry's for ice-cream. The girls seemed to enjoy themselves.
Yes, they have farm animals at the zoo... and if ANYONES kids knows what farm animals look like (live and in person) it is our Southern Maryland born and rasied kids. Needless to say, this was NOT cool or a shocker to Grace and Kenzie.
If you can't tell by the picture above... those are Bears. It was hard to get a good picture from so far away.
If you can see that Monkey WAY up there in the picture above... Those towers were built so the Monkey's can swing from tower to tower all over the Zoo. They cannot climb down any further than the square platform b/c electricity that will shock them. BUT... what if one drops??? I couldn't believe they allow those Monkey's to swing freely like that, but it's pretty cool.
This is the bottom of the tower and how they climb up and down.
Two Monkey's in the tower.
Ketchup
China Town. I think it's pretty cool looking. Who know what it will look like when Kenzie's 18 so I wanted to take a picture. : )

I thought the same thing! I think we went the day after you, and I was NOT impressed. I think next trip we'll go to the aquarium.
