We had a great time yesterday at Zoo Atlanta!
We decided to take a road trip to the zoo after we discovered that we could get a free Family Pass from our local library. (Definitely worth a look if you are a resident of Georgia.)
For more about our trip to the zoo, here is guest blogger Jacob (typed by Daddy):
Overall, it was really, really fun. First, we got out of the bed a little early. Then we ate breakfast, then we got in the car and drove 3 hours to Zoo Atlanta.
When we got there, we found a picnic table and ate lunch. I had a sandwich, cheese stick, apple sauce, and lemonade. Then they gave us a map and we looked at it. We decided to go to the giraffes and the lions first.
Here is a picture of us by the gorilla. (Editor's note: It's not a real gorilla. It's a statue of Willie B., an iconic gorilla who was one of the first animals in the zoo. He died in 2000.)
Next we watched the lions: one on a rock, and one in a cave.
Here is a picture of us in the bird's nest.
Here is a picture of us looking at the tiger. He was awake!
I had never seen one of these animals before. It is called a BONGO. He is brown. He has white stripes. (Editor's note: The horns are cool, too! They twist over his head. Just goes to show that you can learn new things every day.)
I love this picture! It is a picture of Daddy and me. The giraffe was eating his lunch. His lunch was leaves. 
We were walking around so much, we decided to sit down and take a rest.
We watched the pandas. There were two pandas -- one in each room. The pandas walked around in circles. (Editor's note: They keep the pandas separate because they would be separate in the wild. They only come together to mate. Did not know that.)
Here is a picture of us petting a goat in the petting zoo. The goat smelled awful! The goat felt soft. They were still.
Here is a picture of us on the -- what's the name? -- carousel! We rode round and round in circles! It was really cool.
