Kiera and I took a little trip to the Okinawa City Zoo. I think it was one of the hottest days of the summer at 97 degrees (we were going to go last week when the typhoon was coming in because it was cooler and cloudy but the rain came too quickly). It was really hot but we did it anyway.The zoo is small and there aren't many animals. The cages are WAY too small for them and it's actually sad seeing them in that condition. It's one of the reasons Maya and Jas didn't come too. You feel sorry for the animals for the way they are kept in such confined areas.
We saw elephants,
giraffes,
a lion,
a tiger,
a chimp,
and monkeys.
We also took a little boat ride and a black goose followed us around the lake. Kiera rode some of the little rides they have while I sat in the shade. And we ate corn dogs and shaved ice for lunch. It was a fun trip for the two of us. It's nice to have some one-on-one time with each girl.
