For the girls 1st birthday we decided to go to the zoo! We took them the day before their birthday since the weather was supposed to be perfect- and it was!
We started the day in a little bit of traffic on 66 (shocker!) and then made our way to the metro. Some people were surprised that we would venture on the metro, but the girls were great. Alex had one little hiccup during the trip so I gave her a snack and she was back to being as happy as can be-I think her ears needed to pop since we were so far underground.
When we got to the zoo the girls were so interested in all the children the animals didn't interest them at all. As the day went on the girls got more into the animals. The first animals to excite the girls were the gorillas! Alex tried to climb out of Greg's arms to get to the gorillas- it was pretty funny. Kaylee was also excited and she couldn't stop pointing and 'oohing' at them. The lions were a hit as well for both of them. And Kaylee was amazed with the giant anteater. We had such a good day at the zoo and when it was time to go the girls passed out in their stroller before we exited and didn't make a sound or movement until we were about 3 stops from our metro stop! All in all I think it was a great way to celebrate the girls birthday- we will have to make plans to go again.
