Well, Caelan and I spent our May day at the National Zoo. I believe April still had some showers to give before it could bring May flowers because our day started with the sprinkles. We met our friends from the mom's group at the zoo. After trying to wait it out, some of the moms decided to take a rain check. Well, Caelan persuaded me to stay just a little bit longer. So we headed into the elephant house where they were holding the hippos, but no ele's. Well when we came out, the rain had stopped and the sun was peeking out. I high-fived Caelan and told him good call and off we went to see the animals. I carried him in his front pack, so he could be up close and personal, which he LOVED!. Every animal he saw, he growled at and made all kinds of fun noises.

The zoo is beautiful, and soo big we'll have to come back to see some more of the animals another day. This zoo is part of the Smithsonian so there is no entrance fee. (But if you plan on driving, go early because the lots fill up quick, which I learned, and bring some $$ because they charge heftily for parking.

Metro is the way to go!)

We had such a great time, I can't wait to bring him back!
