When last we visited the Riverbanks Zoo, just a couple of weeks ago, the boys spied a coming attraction, and today, after picking Milo up from school, we gave it a whirl: the new endangered species train!
Wearing their train engineer hats for the occasion, the boys were so excited and were stopping random strangers at the zoo to tell them about riding the train (they get the talking to random strangers thing from their dad). Calder actually did not want to leave the train station, but we lured him away with the prospect of feeding the giraffes (which was closed this afternoon, oops).
Also at the zoo today we watched the amazing animals bird show, complete with Houdini the Harris Hawk flying over the boys' heads, observed the tortoises walking around, pretended to snack on Weinberg boys near the giant American alligator, gazed at the elegant giraffes (they so wanted to try Milo's and Calder's "Pirate's Booty"), tried "Dippin' Dots" (a poor excuse for ice cream if you ask me), climbed on the lion statue, and snoozed (Zola). We love our zoo!
