Day after birthday party--zoo day!

What would most exhausted parents do the day after their child's third birthday party? Why, of course: take her to the San Francisco Zoo. It sounds crazy, but I am so glad Gommy and I took Daisy to the zoo yesterday because we had a blast. For one thing, twelve (approx) carousel rides apparently were not enough for Daisy; the day after her Golden Gate Park carousel birthday, the poor deprived child rode the zoo merry-go-round FIVE times and would have gone on longer if we hadn't stopped her. (For the record, the zoo carousel is a much faster, wilder ride than the carousel in Golden Gate Park.) We also got to see the adorable baby gorilla, and let me tell you, we were lucky-- we had a great view of him playing with his mother, and then after awhile they went inside so that all the people who showed up afterward were sorely disappointed. We also spent time with the giraffes, zebra, ostriches, howler monkeys, and lemurs, and then we went to the children's zoo, where Daisy had a great time feeding the ducks.
