National Zoo visit

Welcome to the National Zoo (notice the Heat Advisory sign)
Moooooooo, at the Kid's Farm exhibit
Splish, splashin tryin to keep it cooooool
Butterfly in the Pollinarium
Believe it or not, an octopus. He's upside down squished into a corner.

So it's my birthday, and I can do anything. What do I chose to do? Go to the zoo in the heat. I don't know why but I really wanted to go. I love it there. Its so beautiful and really well cared for. Caelan and I saw a number of animals, that he was fascinated with, on our way to the Kid's Farm and the Invertabrate exhibits. At the farm they have animals and a garden you would normally see and touch on a farm and the Invertabrate exhibit had some really great sea critters and insects. This also included a beautiful butterfly garden. Shawn and I are working with Caelan, teaching him about animals and their sounds. So Caelan was growling and whooooooing at every animal with legs. It was great. Regardless of the heat, we really had a great time!
