Hot Hot Hot

If you look really close you can see Eli Tzvi int he corner
I took my kids to the Miami Zoo today, just the older two, Sam stayed in the RV with the baby, relaxed and tidied up.  Overall great, it was only $5 for the holiday weekend, definitely packed, but manageable.    Super humid, downpours for 5 minutes and then sunshine.  There is a cool splash area with all kinds of fun sprinklers, I took the kids in their bathing suits.  I think my oldest is just like his father, and humidity is really hard for him, he is sweaty, and must feel overwhelming.  Luckily they kept on getting distracted by the animals. Right when you walk in there was a cool tiger, then there was an area with three different monkeys, one was swinging all over the place, and one was hidden behind two trees, and when you caught sigh of it, it was like he was saying, I am watching you just like you are watching me.

Then we found out you could feed the giraffes, there was a short line, it was in the sun and I felt like my arms were being cooked like something on a grill.  Finally right before it was our turn we had to but the lettuce, I got the kids their own bowl, and it was the coolest thing, you can either feed him piece by piece, or at the end present the bowl, his long tongue comes out and scoops every last piece out of the bowl.

Check out the tongue and the zebras in the background

I was so excited I got to hang out with two wonderful friends that joined us at the zoo.  In the morning one from high school, with her beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl.  Later in the afternoon with a great friend that I worked with at the funnest bar ever while I was going to college.  She has a girl and a boy, the kids played so nicely, she even took them to her house and let my husband and I have a nice meal together.''

Heading west tomorrow,
Ready to wind up our journey,
Still a few weeks to go,
All is Good,
Appreciating What Is,

  1. Great pics! I still have to send you the ones I took. Not as good (couldn't figure out the zoom on my phone and hard to see in the bright sun), but you'll enjoy them all the same - they are of you feeding the giraffes :)
