Since it's Labor Day weekend and the last weekend before preschool
starts for Grayson, we set out to do a little something different than
the normal going to the park/grocery store/restaurant weekend. I wanted
to take the kids to the zoo. Of course the National Zoo came to mind
first. But honestly, I
try will not go to DC during any
kind of holiday. The traffic is horrible and yes, I am afraid of
terrorists. That's the truth. There's no sugar coating it.
We
ended up going to the Luray Zoo. It's a 4 hour drive r/t through the
Shenandoah Valley. Garrison talked the whole way there and back. He was
so excited to go to the "zoo zoo". Grayson, was quiet the whole way,
except for telling Garrison he talks too much and is too loud. And the
whole ride home she slept.
The zoo was small for sure.
It had 5 monkeys, a tiger and the rest were farm animals and birds. It
was okay though, the kids didn't mind. There was almost no one there, so
the kids had free run of the place. Garrison chased around a goat and
sat in an old abandoned jeep with it.
After the zoo we
went across the street to a local pizza place, enjoyed some lunch and
headed home. On our way home we did our normal "What was your favorite
part of the zoo?" Grayson replied: "washing my hands." So next I asked
Garrison. Garrison's reply: "washing my hands."

| They held hands almost the whole time we were there. I think they were protecting each other :) |

| Their favorite part! |

| This may be the worlds most patient goat. Garrison was literally sitting on him. |

| It's a Joey Garrison :) |
