lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

zachary had president's day off, so we spent it at the montgomery zoo!

before we got there, we made a list of things we thought we would see.

this list included a:

lion

double stroller

dip-n-dots

an orangutan

tiger

camel back

bear

chimpanzee

boa constrictor

foreigner speaking a foreign language

baby elephant

an i <3 (insert state) t-shirt

boa constrictor

gorilla

spider monkey

hot dog

peacock

sunburned individual

person eating an ice cream cone

parrot

zebra

golden eagle

camel

child on a leash

we then made a 5 x 5 grid and placed each one of these in a square and played

{zoo bingo!}

i really have never had so much fun at the zoo in my life! we determined that the loser owes a 15 minute back massage, along with having to do the dishes for a whole 2 days.

guess who lost?...yes. me.

after lurking creepily around the lunch tables, trying to see what different people ordered, zachary spotted his final object {a hot dog}. the lame part was that i could have won 3 different ways, but 2 of the animals that i needed, the zoo didn't even have! i tend to get pretty competitive, so i will admit that at first i was a little bitter. that wore off quickly though and we were able to enjoy a cute little train ride.

the good news is: i only have 1 more day of dish duty!

another fun thing we did over the weekend, was go to a mardi gras parade. they threw out candy, mardi gras beads, and moon pies {random!}

we topped off the night with some good ol' cici's pizza.

my family used to go there when i was a kid all the time! it sure brought back some good memories.

well, until next time my friends! sayanora.
