Zookies

From A:

I spent yesterday at the National Zoo with my good friend Colleen and her son Isaac.


We had a great day seeing nearly all the animals in the park, including the lions:

Most of these are cubs, although they're getting pretty big.
This looked like a real-life Lion King scene.
and the goats:

This is quite an elaborate goat playground.
Where did all the money come from to build it?
Oh.  Question answered.
Posing with Isaac in front of the goats.
I also learned several methods for reapplying sunscreen to a toddler:

1. Surprise attack.
Start spraying before the child knows what's going on.
2. Distraction.
Petting zoo animals work quite well.
Zookies (zoo cookies) might also work.
3. Speed.
If all else fails, spray while running after the child.

  1. Definitely not my most "graceful" parenting moment, but at least the little boy didn't get a sun burn. We had lots of fun with you on our Zoo adventure!
