Zoo much fun

We went to the National Zoo in D.C this morning. I thought we would never get out of the house with Faith crying all morning. She was ok at the zoo. Her favorites were the gorillas eating cardboard boxes and orangutans walking on ropes from tower to tower about 100 ft in the air. It was nice to be able to put a face to the many animals we've read about. She had fun running in the misting water machines however she wanted Bud to go with her. So both ended up wet. Her shoes remained off through most of the trip despite countless efforts to keep them on. I would have liked to stay longer but Faith needed to have her nap. She needed a nap so bad that she was asleep by the time we got to the gate to pay for parking.
