Wednesdays at the zoo

I have swapped scheduled with someone else for July and possibly August to the earlier shift on Wednesdays to participate in the "open late zoo days". I met up with Liesl, Oma Gabi, Aunt Gloria and Aunt Barb and Autumn or Aumum as Liesl calls her. Liesl had a great time despite the heat there. She was able to get wet at the Frog Fountains with the other kids and at the misting stations and with Oma's water mister and loved that. She was actually upset when we decided to go home saying "more animals momma". She has definately found the value in saying someone's name after statements/requests. We saw all of the cooler exhibits like the polar bears who were swimming around of course in that heat, the otters which were really fun to watch playing around in thier "waterpark" and the amphibians
