Because I'm a member of our local zoo, we got 1/2 off admission to the Tampa zoo, which was a great deal. Although the weather was cool on the beach, in the heart of Tampa it was warmer and a beautiful, sunny day for the zoo. We all had a great time and Evie stayed awake long enough for us to see almost everything. Evie's favorite was the primate section. She particularly enjoyed watching a family of gibbons at play and cracked us up by scratching her armpits and saying "ooh ooh" as she watched them. This was our first trip to the zoo since she's started recognizing animals and knowing their sounds or movements, so it was a lot of fun. We can't wait until it's warm enough here to start going to our local zoo again. Here is a short video recap of our zoo day in Tampa:
June 12, 2007--We completed our adoption home study
Spring, 2007--We signed up with a local domestic adoption agency
Winter, 2006--We tried to pursue international adoption with B*ethany C*hristian S*ervices but this fell through due to Karen being on maintenance medications for allergies and chronic bronchitis
December, 2006--Last ditch (failed) IUI cycle
Fall, 2006--We decided to pursue adoption instead of IVF
December, 2003--stopped taking BCPs (birth control pills)
July 18, 1998--Wedding in Albert Lea, Minnesota
September 5, 1996--First date in Charlottesville, Virginia
August 26, 1995--We met at an Alpha Epsilon Pi frat party on the grounds of the University of Virginia. I was a 17-year-old first year student in the College of Arts and Sciences (double major in English and Psychology) and J was a 22-year-old in his first year of graduate school (Engineering, Materials Science)
The primate section is my fave too. Glad it was a fun day!
