We went to the Metro Richmond Zoo this weekend. It was supposed to be 86 and cloudy so we were thinking it wouldn't be too bad walking around. We were wrong! It was definately 86 but I saw very few clouds, just lots of sun beating down on us so it felt pretty warm. Hannah was a good sport and just sat in the stroller and played with her toy cow. Lily had a pretty good time and liked all the animals. We did see a lion but he was being lazy in the shade so not too exciting. There were black bears and they were pretty neat. However, Lily absolutely loved the tigers and I think she could have stayed there watching them all day. They would walk right in front of the glass window so they were nice and close. We also saw a bunch of different kinds of monkeys, penguins, giraffes (we got to feed them too), camels, llamas, and more I'm sure I'm forgetting. Colin and I were actually quite impressed with the array of animals they had and I'm sure we'll be back since it's only 20 min. away and we had such a good time.
