Wednesday, Miranda, Laura, and I took Silas and Cameron to the zoo in DC.

Prarie dogs greeted us.

The lion was so handsome

Miranda shows Silas....

...the orangutan taking a stroll over our heads on the O line

Both boys liked the reptile house

Miranda lets Silas get up close to look at lizards and snakes

Turtles are fun too!

The cheetah was a favorite for all of us. The boys named him Cham

A docent let Silas touch a clouded leopeard skin

Silas liked it so did Cammy!

After a long while in the bird exhibit, Laura goes a bit birdy

After a long day at the zoo, both boys fall asleep in the car, holding hands (taken by Miranda with Laura's camera)
The National Zoo in DC is a wonder, I never get to see all I want in one visit.
A gallery of all the photos taken of the extraordinary collection of animals is here » DC ZOO PHOTOS
Wow, looks like you had a fun time!! Wish I could’ve been there, except I don’t think I would have gone in the reptile house!
The last picture is SOOOO cute – the two exhausted boys, holding hands. : )
Love,
Sandy, Mom, Nana Sandy
I love your photos! Especially those of the Cheetah and lioness. I love the lighting in them. Great artwork.
I also love the zoo, but my baby girl is too young for this…
Take care,
Tracey
