Trip to the (Reston) Zoo

Did you know there was a zoo in Reston, VA? Neither did we until last week. Theresa and Audrey made it home Friday morning just in time for Theresa to leave for Charlottesville for the weekend to help with her friend's bridal shower. As much as I was tempted to take Audrey over to Nonna and Poppa's for the weekend, I decided to make up for the week away with some serious bonding time. So on Saturday we headed out to the Reston Zoo, which is more like a farm, really. We saw parrots, a horse, some kangaroos, chickens and turkeys, a porcupine, an ostrich and an emu, pigs, rabbits and best of all, got up close and personal with some goats and sheep. Audrey thought about trying to feed a couple of them, but always thought better of it at the last second. She did get to touch a couple goats (and the ostrich), which she thought was exciting, but she had the most fun chasing a couple of ducks and a goose. Well, that and this lion, which we spent more time around than anything else at the zoo.
