Yesterday Mom, Ellie and I went to the zoo.  It was a super nice day, it only rained for 20 minutes and the sun was even shining.  The zoo was amazing!  It is HUGE.  It is easily the biggest zoo I have ever been to.  There were so many awesome animals.  They had zebras, giraffes, elephants, big cats, birds of every kind, a bear, camels, donkeys, bats, lizards, insects, snakes, gorillas, sea lions, a butterfly house, penguins, fish, a small mammal house, and probably about 20 types of monkeys plus a lot more that I am forgetting about at the moment.  They had so many animals that we didn't get to see them all before we were too tired to keep going.  One of our favorite parts was the monkey, bat and lizard room.  They were all in a room without cages and you could walk around with them.  It was super cool.  I have never been that close to a monkey before.  We also liked the sea lions.  They are so cute when they swim around.  The gorillas were also so cool.  They were being really aggressive towards each other when we were there.  It was really interesting to watch.  We are all super glad we got to go to the zoo and had a lot of fun!
