Our 2010 trip to the Zoo

Hey, all, Andy here. Hope you like the updates to the blog. The old one reminded me of old people, (no offense) and I like the new design. And the name change of our blog to plain old Hilton Family cuz, lets face it, we aint ever gonna live at a chateau.

Anyway, so today we went to the zoo. I like the zoo. Especially when it's not crowded. We showed up almost right when it opened, around 9, and had a good time looking at monkeys, penguins, tigers, and the baby elephant. We even went to the bird show they have and Avah really liked the big hawks flying right over people's heads. The birds grazed peoples hair and they were only a few feet from where we were sitting, so not too close to freak out the kids, but close enough to see really well.

Of course, no trip is complete without a ride on the carousel. They went twice. I was gonna let Avah go three times and Sarah just one, but it's so much easier to have em both on at the same time. (plus favoritism issues) I snuck some pictures of Rachel too. (rather forced her to pose) She was a good sport, so I didn't torment her too much. We left around noon, (it was getting hot) and Sarah was out like a light as soon as we started driving home. It was a lot of fun.
