The zoo is so fun! It was a looooooooooong day but great. I (of course) managed to get hurt... on a popsicle of all things. Not even a cool animal accident, no, a popsicle. It was soooooooo cold that my lip froze to it a bit and bled :( However the popsicle was very tasty so there are no hard feelings ;)
We all got a little bit burnt by the sun. I burnt through SPF 70 people, clearly I am too white for my own good. However my burn doesn't hurt this time, which is odd but I'm not going to complain :)
We saw soooooooo many adorable animals, we went everywhere! So much walking but so great. At least we're all excercised. And of course we hit up the gift shop on the way out and got some adorable stuff. I got a stuffed Golden Lion Tamarin. Those little guys were my favourite on this trip I think... well one of my favourites. The downside of the zoo is I come home wanting about 20 different exotic animals to live in my house. I also got a little plastic bowl with my name on it (cheesy but so cute!) and animals inside. And a plastic hippo (HOUSE HIPPO!!!!!) and a plastic llama (Llama = yes, bootleg = no. Icons coming soon ;) ) and some cute little soaps for our bathroom. Nomi got us some great fridge magnets too, our apartment has a little bit of zoo theme going on.... which shall soon be eclipsed by New York theme and Oz theme.
So yes, a Sarah Slean concert it was not, and I'd be lying if I said any of us would have chosen that day if we had the concert option. So there was some disappointment there. But we went out and had such a fun day anyways and just made the best of it and that worked out really well. And while I opted to stay home today (too tired!) we're heading out for dinner and a concert tonight so it is a good use of my vacation days. I sort of feel like I've had a mini summer vacation :D
