As we were woken up by our new comer Lindsey, we were looking forward to a full day at the zoo.  When the kids arrived at school, we played board games for about half an hour before heading out to the Detroit Zoo.  Once we departed the bus at the zoo, we were welcomed by extreme heat and no breeze.  Armed with a child in one hand and a water bottle in the other, we attacked the zoo with full force.  Our presence was known from the beginning.  Despite the heat, the kids were still excited to see their favorite animals.  Another attraction at the zoo besides the animals was the water misters that cooled us off.  Highlights of the zoo were the lions, red pandas, zebras, flamingos, polar bears, peacocks, penguins, gorillas, and prairie dogs.  At lunch time, we enjoyed some dances by Everado and Tizaria and playing on the playground.  We wrapped the day up with taking naps on the ride home on the bus.  Our evening was spent at Natalie, Chris, Hannah, Nick, and Olivia’s house.  We had a great time tubing and swimming.  We ended our day with eating berry pie and cream puffs.
