Wilhelma Zoo

So yesterday we finally got out and "did something".  It's been so difficult with Tom working, so many illnesses (or injuries), weather, doctor appointments and Gregory's preschool for us to get out and do something or go somewhere (other than Ramstein--although, that's not all bad since we get to see our friends, Jan, Ginger and kids).

We went to the Wilhema Zoo, here in Stuttgart, of course we picked the PERFECT day to go and we had a blast!  It was in the upper 60s, sunshine aplenty, cooperative kids and lots to see!  Gregory's favorite was the Aquarium (inside the zoo park).  Joshua says his favorites were the elephants and the giraffes.  We went with our friends, Amanada and her two boys (Ethan-4 and Evan-3).  So the boys each had someone to play with and I even got to have some adult conversation while we enjoyed the walking, the beautiful flowers, the fun animals and the kids being cute and crazy.

  We were amazed to see other people we knew at the zoo (from MOPS and PWOC)...I figured we'd hear some english spoken but didn't think we'd know the people who were speaking it :-)

We ended our trip to the zoo with popsicles, which were so yummy on the day that ended feeling so warm!  For more pics click here. or  http://tomandroxannecook.shutterfly.com/
