Today we decided to take a trip to the National Zoo. We wanted to go before the weather got too hot and before all the local schools let out for the year, so today was a perfect day for both of those things.
We started off at the Big Cats exhibit and got to see some cool lions (although we were disappointed not to see any tigers out).
Both girls really liked the Reptile House. Nina couldn’t get over the size of this blue iguana, and Lyla really liked the turtles. We also saw some very cool snakes, and Nina got up close and personal with another lizard that the zookeeper had out.
We enjoyed getting a good look at the elephants!
After re-energizing with a good lunch, we were back out to see the rest of the zoo.
Nina, in particular, was very excited to see the panda. By chance, we came across an overlook that wasn’t crowded and got a great view of the panda.
After the panda exhibit, we started making our way back to the car. We were excited that the prairie dogs were out of their tunnels when we passed by them a second time. The girls loved the prairie dogs, and it was fun to see them so close.
It ended up being a great trip to the zoo, and we even got home before getting stuck in rush hour traffic, so it was a good day!
