ZOO

I was so excited to go to the zoo. My dad drove me in the car

and we got there when the zoo first opened. We took our
coats and headed to the gate. I couldn’t wait to get there!

When we got there, we wanted to see if the lions were awake.

We walked to the lion cage and saw the lions running around.
I loved them!

After the lion cage we walked all around the zoo. My favorite
part was when we saw a mama monkey carrying her baby
monkey across trees. I can’t wait to go back to the zoo again!
