Quito Zoo








Today we visited Quito Zoo and the best part was it was SUNNY - very sunny!!! It was a gorgeous morning to spend walking through a zoo and the animals were quite active which made it even more fun. The zoo is about an hour from our house but with traffic it took about 90 minutes. The zoo has lots of acres of land but most of it is undeveloped. It definitely isn't as big as the MN zoo. It is closer to the size of the Madison zoo. Emma is an animal lover so she was so excited. Danni loves animals too. He even walked through the whole zoo! It was a lot of fun! A great day in the sun with the family!

Last night at 4 AM Hayden and I woke up to a very large noise coming from outside. We realized that the electricity was out for several blocks and we believe the noise was a generator. It was so loud that you would of thought it was right there in our room. By 4:30 AM Danni was up then Emma got up. So I crawled into bed with Emma (Danni sleeps in her room on a twin bed) and we all laid there listening to this noise go on and on. Around 6 AM the lights came on and 5 minutes later the noise ended. We fell back asleep but that sure makes for a tired family. So I am too tired to write more tonight. I have lots of pictures to share.

Happy Easter everyone!
