Saturday we visited another zoo. The four of us went on the yearly nursery zoo trip to the Audobon Zoo in New Orleans with our church. John asked why I had taken Ben and Mollie to the zoo on Friday knowing we were going on Saturday. That is because Zoo Tots only meets once a month and this was the last class for the year. If we missed it, they wouldn't get to go again until January and it's something Ben looks forward to.

The Audobon Zoo is much bigger than our local zoo. This was Mollie's first trip to a big zoo and she loved seeing the animals. We don't have elephants.

There was some overlap, though. Petting snakes and . . .

goats.


John and Mollie watching the monkeys.


I think the reptile house was the favorite exhibit of all of us.

Riding the Endangered Species carousel. Mollie rode an ostrich.

Ben road a jaguar.

Ben walked this year and Mollie rode in the wagon. We had a lot of fun, but it was a long day. We loaded onto the charter buses and left the church about 8:30 a.m. We got back to the church about 4:30 p.m. Mollie napped about 20 minutes on the way home. Ben didn't nap at all. I had both Ben and Mollie in bed by 8 p.m. and we all enjoyed the extra hour of sleep.
