We made our first ever trip to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. on June 7th. Myself, Grandma and the three boys geared up for a long, fun-filled, hot day of animal watching. We had a really nice time and the boys were just great all day! Cannon really loved the Reptile House. The lizards, fish and turtles were all his favorite. Chance seemed to really like the Small Mammal House where we saw meerkats, porcupines, rats and other fine little critters. He seemd to make friends with this one little critter (don't ask me what it was!) Me, I really just loved seeing the panda and the elephants. Couldn't tell you what Colin liked. He pretty much sat in the stroller all day with his mouth hanging open just enthralled in all the people and excitement. There were quite a few kids on field trips there. I thought by mid June field trips would be all done since kids get out of school right around then, but I was wrong.
It was a good trip, but I think I'd rather go to our local Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo over the National Zoo anyday. You can get up close and personal with a Bengal Tiger at Catoctin, versus being 200 yards away from the tigers at National. Oh well, it was fun and it was an experience!
