The National Zoo

While my mom and sister were in town, we went to the National Zoo in D.C. The weather was supposed to be nice, but it ended up being cold with a misty rain; I ended up buying a sweat shirt at the gift shop because I was so cold. We still had a great time though. We took the Metro into the city and Laneah thought it was a fun ride. Every time we would start moving she would throw her arms in the air and say "weeee!" Laneah loved looking at all the animals. They have a kids farm at the zoo and Laneah ran from one fence to the other looking at all the farm animals.

I thought that the coolest part of the zoo was the Orangutan crossing. They actually call it the "O Line", like it is a Metro line. They built this tower in the Orangutan cage and the Orangutans can climb to the top of the tower and then climb to 8 other towers throughout the zoo. As we were leaving the zoo, we saw this sign and laughed and decided to take a picture. While we were taking the picture, an Orangutan started climbing directly over us. We got a cool video of it and I posted it below.




Laneah was so tired from running around that she passed out on the Metro ride home. She loved the zoo so I imagine that we will be going plenty more times this summer.
