Beijing Zoo

On our second full day in Beijing, we decided to take the kids to the zoo. It took a little while longer for us to get there than planned....two hours of riding the hotel shuttle, subway and walking.

 

All of the walking wore Brynn out and this is her after we got to the zoo. It was a beautiful days and the zoo was really nice.  The only problem was about half of China thought so too and decided to visit the zoo as well.

This is a picture of the crowds. I don't think it does it justice. There were a LOT of people there. The crowds didn't seem to bother Brynn, because she kept on napping.

Brynn did wake up in time to see the elephant, giraffes and her favorite the monkeys. Here is our attempt of a group picture. Emma, Brynn, Peyton, Owen and Mason and some random Chinese kids.

Brynn's face cracks me up in this picture. She is doing her monkey sound. One of the monkeys was a showoff and performed for the crowd. Brynn loved it!


*Matt woke up at 3am to watch the Bama vs. South Carolina game and you all know how that turned out :( It was probably a good thing Brynn and I were asleep along with the rest of China. A funny thing or at least I thought it was funny was that there is a rooster that lives nearby and Matt swears it was taunting him the whole game. He says the rooster was crowing or whatever rooster/gamecocks do, very loud and nonstop all morning and that it was driving him crazy. I fear for that rooster's life if Matt can find it!
