A Day at the National Zoo

We've been studying animals for science this year, so as treat we all went on a field trip to the National Zoo (with Grandmama!).
The seal exhibit was our favorite.  




Although Jonathan had just gotten stung by a bee.  Brave boy recovered quickly,


 Dorathea was intent on sketching the animals :)

  A lovely play fountain.  It turned into a little river of flowing water.

 Jonathan jumping off the rock after the flood.
 Silly boy.


 We didn't see the real pandas but Dorathea took a liking to the statues.


 Grandmama and Ted with Jonathan sketching in the background.

 My boy being a monkey to get ready for the Hall of Apes.

 And here is an ape,
 Orangutans seem so kind.
 A baby gorilla almost the same exact age as Jonathan.

We saw everything there was to see and  had an exhausting and wonderful time.  Thanks for coming with us Grandmama!
