It's a zoo out there.

Everyone (me, EM, Papa and Nanny; that would be essentially everyone in Ellie's world, minus a few notable exceptions) took off of work today (yes, Nanny works) in order to escort Ellie on her first trip to the zoo. We managed to stay dry and in doing so saw: pretty flowers, frogs, snakes, alligators eating, rhinos, elephants, sea lions, polar bears, overly affectionate chimps, geese, baboons, turtles, penguins (we didn't have the heart to tell her they were actually puffins) and I'm sure I'm leaving a thing or two out. Anyhow, it was a good time and everyone was sufficiently tired when we left. Ellie's favorite part: the "Rockin' Safari Ride" - go figure.
