Andrew has been working long hours at work these days and this past Monday he had a much needed day off. Neither of us wanted to do anything big, so a low key trip to the zoo was decided upon, much to the delight of the children. Stanley had been asking to go since we arrived, but I could hardly bear the thought of all that walking in the near-stifling summer heat. Monday was a perfect day, weather wise. Unfortunately though, it was also a holiday for the Japanese and it was PACKED. Note to self, never leave base on a Japanese holiday ever again.
After struggling to find parking, we finally arrived. The children were thrilled to explore and see what they had to offer. It was very much like any American zoo, with the exception of the food selection. They had all the typical animals from Australia, Africa and beyond. Frankly, I am glad, it was good for the children.
All in all we had a nice relaxing family outing...a much needed together time.
I love Tommys face in this one....
In his element!
The butterfly house was amazing, there were thousands of butterflies everywhere....

Audrey says, "Ewww!" to the bugs. She wants to know if you have a waving cat in your house (we read a book about the welcoming waving cat.)
