So, the girls asked, “what are we doing today?” Mommy says, “we’re going to the Zoo!” The girls scream in unison, “YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” On our first trip with Kate a year ago, we learned first hand the size of the zoo. So on this trip, we opted for the 45-minute Guided Bus Tour that covers about 70 percent of the Zoo.

During our trip, Kate and Sophie got to see the following: rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, pandas, elephants, tigers, reindeer, zebras, bears and loads of other animals.
