National Zoo

We took the kids to Washington DC for a mini-break in May. We stayed in an apartment in Uncle Peter and Aunt Andrea's apartment building - it was nice to have so much space to stretch out. We had a "pizza party" on our first night in town and relaxed in our new home-away-from-home...

Sean told me that this was the "most beeee-youtiful" clock he'd ever seen!

The next morning we had bagels and fruit while we got ready to go to the ZOO!

Oh boy, the kids were really excited to take a train and get to the zoo to see all sorts of animals! BUT by the time we got to the zoo's gates...

...both kids were asleep!

After a little while, the babies woke up and after eating a little lunch, it was time to see the animals!
 

Panda bears! Clare was so excited to show the pandas her new lunch bag - decorated with a panda! 



The kids were excited to see elephants - since the Philly zoo does not have elephants, we missed out on watching these guys last year.  Sean thought seeing the elephants pooping was hilarious and yet slightly horrifying - oh, to be a four-year-old boy!


Sean had so much fun running around the meerkats' glass - literally!  It was hard to tell if Sean was running after the meerkat or if it was the other way around.

Sill kids!




And a family shot with a sleeping Clare :-)
Thanks for the pictures, Uncle Peter!
