We were all home today because it's Memorial Day so we spent the day together at the Maryland Zoo. It was our first trip to the Maryland Zoo and Cooper's first trip to any zoo. He LOVED it! It's not a huge zoo, so we were only there for a few hours which was okay with us---because it was HOT! I think that boy said "Hi Birdie" to every single bird he saw---in cages, on trees, everywhere....which is funny since I am deathly afraid of birds. He loved the polar bear, birds, owls, fish, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. We all were able to feed the giraffe a branch. I wasn't sure how close he would want to get to the giraffe, but he was so brave and fed her his branch and my branch. All in all---it was a great day. And the best part is---we got a membership so we can go back anytime. On another note---thanks to all of the members of the military and their families for all they have done and will do for our country. Happy Memorial Day!
Peeking through at some birds and gazelles....we even spied a chipmunk. 
My two boys watching the penguins
This Lemur was so funny.....he was all laid back and relaxed. A rough life...
There were four adult elephants and then one "little" baby elephant.
The Chimps had been given "popsicles"....frozen blocks of ice with veggies and fruit in it.
"oooohh ooohhh, ahhhh ahhhha"
Cooper got a little "pick me up" from his two favorite guys on the way out. It's hilarious--- he will say "ready?!", then they count, and swing him.....he had the time of his life.
