Today, after getting a little bit of a late start, we went to the Naples Zoo. After having a quick lunch, we began our tour of the zoo to find most of the animals hidden in their homes or napping. We began to think our trip to the zoo was going to be a bit of a bust. Then, just as we were approaching the lion's den, the lion began to roar. Evan thought he was the Lion King! We continued on past the camels and saw the giraffes eating. We decided the best way to make the most of our visit was to attend the shows and the "meet the trainer" talks. Our favorite was the tiger feeding...they are such big, beautiful animals! We took another tour through the zoo areas we had missed, hoping to catch the last boat ride to see the monkeys. No luck! I guess we will have to go back another time!
After the zoo, we went to Jon and Allie's house for our annual "salmon on Sundays" dinner with them. We hadn't seen them since September and I think they were amazed at how much Evan had changed in six months. Evan had a wonderful time playing with Frankie and Fergie...he even took Frankie for a walk, holding the leash all on his own! He also loved running around the lanai and exploring Jon and Allie's yard. It is so nice to be able to visit two very special people when we are in Fort Myers!
