I took a day off on Friday to take the kids to the zoo with Christian since he would be working all weekend. Lord knows that I can't let free tickets go to waste. I haven't been to the zoo since I was a kid and Willie B was still around. It looks about the same, only no Willie B but now there are pandas. I have to say the pandas were not a thrill. There was one panda that was asleep on his back on a tree looked passed out. Which is probably what prompted the teenagers behind us to begin making jokes about the dead panda much to Seth's horror. Yep, thank you teenagers!!! Anyway, he loved the elephant and the lions. The lions were hilarious. There was a daddy, mommy, and 3 baby lions. The mom had coaxed two babies off the top rock where the daddy was hanging out. The third baby was too scared and wouldn't come down. So the daddy's approach of roaring at it wasn't working but it sure did piss off mommy. She jumped up there to it's defense and started swatting at daddy and roaring back before picking the cub up in her mouth and helping her down. Hilarious!!! Some things are universal...lion or human. ha ha!!!
