It's raining--it must be Memorial Day weekend!

Friday afternoon, we kicked off the Memorial Day weekend with a brief trip to the zoo. With our membership, as well as the close proximity to our house, it is so wonderful and convenient to be able to just go for just an hour, or however long we'd like, and not have to worry about the entrance fees, which are currently $9.50 per person! This summer, we look forward to going to some of the concerts and exploring some of the great events that take place at the zoo.

On this trip, however, we encountered a very proud peacock--which was exciting--as well as elephants, orangutans, and a pacing Amur leopard, to note. Everything else seemed to be kicking off their vacation by going on their own vacation! Franny was unquestionably intrigued with what we did see, but her expressions were fairly subdued--a lot of intense observing and some pointing were her primary reactions. Regardless, it was a fun excursion until the rain started--thankfully, we got back to the car just as it started to really come down. Overall, though, a fun trip!
