The real elephant was okay. We stayed long enough for a picture. We even saw two close up, but Sam wasn't very interested.
The fake elephants, however, were "cool and awesome" to use Sam's words. I didn't trust Sam to hold Will on the elephant, so I was lame and left him in the stroller.
Some lady that was leaving the zoo as we were arriving gave me two tickets for the carousel. Sam was in heaven. On the elephant. Will really liked it too. He was a little unsure at first, but I tried to make it sound like fun (you know, mommy voice
yays and such), and then he was fine. The kid next to us, however, could not be persuaded. We listened to his screaming for the entire ride.
Sam was distraught. He saw a little boy with an ice cream cone. When I told him we weren't having ice cream, we almost had to leave. He was very sad. But mostly mad. At me. As soon as I told him we could go ride the train, he was much happier.
A little sunny, but Sam was so excited. We were at the playground, but when he saw the train pass by, he became totally disinterested in playing. It was a pretty cool, albeit short, train ride. We sat right behind the conductor. Don't do that, even with a train fan. It was loud and hot, and we couldn't hear anything the conductor was saying. Good thing the tickets were only a dollar.
There's a garden next to the zoo (by the giraffes), and it has this funny sign. The bottom right-hand corner of the top sign says Western Garden Centers. I showed it to Mike a couple of years ago, and he said it must be a really old sign. He's never heard of this garden.
