Japan 3

It was supposed to rain all day again. We headed towards the zoo hoping it wouldn't be too bad. If it got worse we were going to head to a nearby museum. The zoo wasn't far from our hotel and the rain ended up not being so bad. We missed some of it while we were in the reptile house and again when we were eating a snack under a big umbrella. We put the camera away for half of our visit though so it wouldn't get wet.

 When you order soymilk in your drink at starbucks they give you a card that says soy on it. You hand it to them at the end of the line and they give you your drink with a soymilk sticker on it. So many times I've been nervous they didn't hear me when I say soy. I like this system better!

 passed out baby
 She finally woke up when we went back outside
 This guy on the right we thought was fake. He was huge! He was 4-5 ft and standing so still. We were looking in the cage to see what else was in there and Dave noticed it move and open its mouth. I forget what they were but I've never seen anything like it before. 
 We didn't bring the stroller because of the rain but regretted it quickly. We ended up renting a stroller from the zoo.

On the walk back it started pouring. We walked to another place Dave found on HappyCow but it wasn't open for another 30min. We had saw a starbucks so went there to get a warm drink and wait. While we were waiting, Elinor was sleeping and we were each posting pictures from the day on instagram. At the same time we realized what day it was and that is was our 5 year anniversary. We laughed a lot, hugged and kissed our baby.

Franklin Park

Friday we went to Franklin Park Zoo. We haven't been there since before they reopened the whole Zoo. When they were filming Zookeeper, they had half the Zoo closed off. They have now added some new features since then, like the huge playground. 
 The babies loved watching the animals
