at the zoo

well, my camera has not been working well, so during aunt susu's visit-2 weeks!-i didn't take many pics. susan took lots and i just have to get them downloaded onto the computer. thus, not many new blogs. i did manage a couple of pictures from the zoo, though. it was a beautiful thursday morning, so after marin woke from her nap we loaded the car and headed down the road. along with half of denver! everyone was at the zoo! fortunately it is a huge place and once we were inside the gates it wasn't so bad. we didn't even get to see everything because we ran out of time and the kids needed their naps. we saw bears, elephants, monkeys, rhinos, penguins, lions-townsend loved it! ellory and marin were in the stroller and couldn't always see everything. i think the thing that townsend got most excited about though, was the train that went around part of the zoo. we sat on a bench for lunch and it passed by every 5 minutes or so. townsend loved waving and letting us know that the train was coming. he is really into trains these days. before we left we went into the gift shop where aunt susu got townsend a baby rhino, ellory a baby giraffe, and marin a zoo kids plate. they're not spoiled or anything. :)
