Detroit Zoo- Revisited

We are trying to make our last few weekends as a family of 3 special for Layla. This weekend Bryan decided to take Friday off and take us to the Detroit zoo one last time this year.

Honestly, this zoo isn't my favorite. After a 2 hour drive, Layla didn't even realize we were at a zoo until we finished the 15 minute walk to the back of the zoo to see the good animals. LOL. There is A LOT of walking here...our plan was to take the train to the back and walk up front hitting up all the good animals. Turns out the train doesn't operate on the weekdays in October so I was one exhausted Momma by the end of this trip.

Once she realized we were at the zoo (haha) she had a great time. It was windy and chilly so she stayed in her stroller most of the time, but it was a great time to go because it wasn't crowded at all. We got to see almost all the animals on L's list and a few more! Here are a few pics of L enjoying the zoo:



I think her favorites were the monkeys and alligators this time. Look how close we got to see this baby chimp!!



And that's all the pics we took. I was too tired to hold the camera and Bryan was busy pushing L around. Oh well! After the zoo we took what we thought would be a quick trip to Ikea to get a few things for Jack's room. It ended up taking us 3 1/2 hours to get home (normally takes under 2)...the curse of the Barton's continues to strike every time we travel. Maybe Jack will be our good luck charm? If not, I'm never leaving the house again. :)
