Zoo Fail

Today is the last day of my summer break so I wanted to do something fun. So we decided to go to the zoo! It was supposed to rain so we opted for a morning zoo trip. Two hours later, we were finally off! On the way, I realized that we had forgotten to take the stroller from my car and put it in Jessyel's car.  Jessyel said that he would just carry her around.  Upon arrival, we found that we also had forgotten her hat. So, here we were at the zoo with nothing to cover Penny from the sun. We bought her a hat at the overpriced gift shop and then looked into renting a nasty zoo stroller. The strollers at the zoo don't have sun shades, so off we went. It felt like it was about 1,000 degrees and it was made worse by the fact that we had to carry a baby and a giant diaper bag. We went straight to tropical discovery in the hope that since it is indoors it wouldn't be as hot.  Well, it was still pretty hot and the tropicalness made for some lovely humidity. Penny did seem to enjoy herself though. That is one of her favorite exhibits at the zoo since she can see the fish and other stuff up close. After that, we decided to try and go see the elephant show. It started in about 30 minutes. We walked over found a spot and started to feed Penny. We got some lunch for us too. These chicken bowls. Penny was eyeing our chicken. So of course we gave her some.  She apparently did not like the chicken and proceeded to throw up the chicken, a bottle, and two things of baby food all over herself, me, the ground around us, and a little on the lady in front of us. Whoops! Luckily she had on one of those bibs with the food catchers on it, so on the second round of throw up I was able to catch it in the little pocket. She filled it all the way up to the top!!  So Penny had throw up all over her hands, arms, and pants. And did I bring a change of clothes, nope! I had it all over my shirts, pants, arms, hands, and in my hair! Gross!  And luckily when I washed my shirt off in the bathroom it became very see-through. After we wiped off as much throw up as we could and tried to avoid the judgmental stares and comments from the people behind us, we slinked out of there and decided to call it a day. Perhaps we should try again next week and not forget everything!
