Went to the ZOO today!!! :D
So! Went to the zoo today with countershade and it was AWESOME! Started out not sure if we were going to go or not, but brief talking resulted in the agreement that zoo = win.
So we made a pitstop at the store for tanktops for countershade and necessary things for me. Got there WIITHOUT GETTING LOST! And proceeded to have a great time even though the zoo was PACKED (Saturdays in summer will do that for you).
But, since she had the brilliant idea to do it backwards, we only had to squeeze ourselves through crowds of people a couple times and didn't have to worry about hecka long lines. Highlights of the day include
* Sandtiger sharks close enough to touch
* Polar bear diving into the water to roll around with a giant floating toy and toss it in the air and play
* Sea lion baby and sea lions barking and wrestling with one another
*Coolest shark I've ever seen that I don't know the name of (Yet!)
*Poison dart frogs
*Watching a zoo visitor pet the penguins
*Watching an adult correct their child for being rude to little people "They're no different from you", a win for parenting!
*Polar bear necklace!
The only not highlights of the day were:
*Large crowds and strollers that will NOT get out of your way
*Mr Monkey having fun jerking one ( next time, I will not look where countershade points with that look on her face!)
Then, we headed home. Did NOT get lost, and had entirely too much sushi, and had a waiter that was flirting so much with countershade that he offered/gave us sake, and didn't charge us for it o.o;;
Saw a rainbow on the way home too!
