Running Wild

When you go to the zoo and you wonder, how in the hell do all these people stay at one place for soon long? They stand around and look at animals for hours. You know you’re bored when you can’t seem to get interested in anything.

Walking from the parking lot to enter the zoo, when your son looks at you and says “Mom, why are we here?” Mom says “Dylan we are going to walk around and look at all the cool different kind of animals.” “I really do feel like walking around all day, and looking a dumb animals.” “Dylan, it is good knowledge to learn about all the different breeds of animals and you get to learn all kinds of different things.” As we walk through the gate we look at all the different people and kids that are there. We pay the lady that works at the window, walk through the number counter, and walk over to get a wagon. We get the wagon put the kids in it and start our journey through the zoo.

Walking around the zoo to see all the different animals we finally find the monkey cages. Of course because that is all the kids seem too interested in see. They had three babies that had just been born a couple months before. They were the cutest things ever. Dylan and Kaylie get out of the wagon too look at the monkeys. Hoot and hollering at them to come to the windows. Eventually one of them come to the window and start mocking the kids and dancing around. My kids thinks it’s one of the funniest things they have ever seen.

We walk further around to look at all the different animals and decide to eat lunch. We find the pavilion, sit down and eat lunch. The kids decide they want to walk around the rest of the time. We start walking and all of the sudden there is no Dylan to be found. We look and look for him and can’t seem to find him anywhere. “I can’t seem to find Dylan, Have you seen him anywhere?” I say to his sister. “Mom, he is right in front of you on the play to running wild!” I look over and see him running like a mad man playing with a bunch of other kids.
