The National Zoo

Saturday Morning after the husbands came back from a session in the temple, we checked out of the hotel and took the metro to the National Zoo. Once we got off the metro, Jared and Chris to the kids up this massive escalator while Lauren and myself took the babies on the tiny elevator.

Zachery slept on the metro and through the first half of our zoo experience.

RJ of course HAD to have a map of the zoo and HAD to follow it. We couldn't go anywhere until he found it on the map and told us exactly which way to go. It got old fast!

Savannah loved posing with all the statues. At every one she saw she asked me to take a picture of her. This was the best one out of a few dozen. She never once looked into the camera and there were always other kids climbing on them too. I few times I just pretended to take her picture, shhh, don't tell.

At lunch time, all RJ wanted was popcorn. After we got him to eat a corn dog we humored him with popcorn, but I made him stand in the long line with me and had him order and pay for it himself.

I just love this grin.

Savannah mooing like the Cows.

The National zoo is pretty nice. It is free which is awesome. It was sprinkling when we were there, but not too bad. I didn't get to many pictures of animals, but I was super surprised when this photo came out un-blurred because the Lion was so far away. The lion is actually yawning in this photo, but it looks pretty cool.
