Tj's grandparents have been in town the last couple of weeks. This past week Tj's dad took vacation time. To cap off the week we went to the Miami Zoo. We had a really fun time! We took the tram around the zoo. Joel really enjoyed the tram ride. He would get so excited when we would see the animals. He'd wrap his arms around Tj and hug him super tight. He LOVED the zoo. Vance enjoyed the time outside and being around Daddy and Pa. But his short attention span kept him from enjoying the animals.
The Miami Zoo was amazing. If it hadn't been for the tram ride we wouldn't have been able to see half the zoo. We got to see two different kinds of elephants. We were also just in time to see the elephants be fed. They were getting a special treat of tomatoes. There was one elephant that was doing tricks. He would bow down, go backwards and "speak". Joel really enjoyed the show and thought it was really funny when the elephant was going backwards and stepped on a tomato. When the elephant found the squished tomato it picked it up and then tossed it. Later at dinner he was pretending to be the elephant and would pretend to pick up a tomato and then toss it. Vance loved the rhinos! He kept saying wrhino.
It was a really fun trip. We can't wait to go back!

Miami Zoo as in Miami? I didn't realize you were that close. Sounds like a great day.
You are getting to experience the other half of the US. Lucky you!
What a fun zoo. I'm getting tired of the phoenix one. Maybe I'll come visit and check out yours!
Matt and I went to the Miami Zoo one day and walked, boy did we get a workout! The exhibits are sooo far apart! It is a nice zoo though. Cute pictures!
