Run faster!


Today Katelyn and I went to the zoo. Kylie and William are at day camp this week so we have been able to do some fun one on one stuff. During our zoo visit we had quite the adventure.
We wanted to go see the alligators so we headed towards the Alligator hut. We walked past a zoo keeper and I heard the walkie talkie say, "I am getting reports that the black bear is out. Can I get a confirmation on that?" I had noticed that a lot of the animals were not out in their out side pens yet so I thought that maybe the bear had come out before she was suppose to. So we continued towards the alligators. A few minutes later I heard voices. "Where is she?" "She's in there" They sounded like they were talking about me. But why? Then a man came running in, "Ma'am, I need to get you out of here. The black bear is out of her cage. You need to go to the reptile building and run!" So that's what I did. Pushing Katelyn in her stroller we ran to the reptile building. I kind of felt silly running. There was no one around except for the people at the top of the hill in the building watching me run. They were actually motioning to me to run faster as if the bear were right behind us about to devour Katelyn and I. We reached our destination safely. It was then that I realized where I was. It was the building that I never go to. The one with all the snakes. (or worms as Katelyn likes to call them.) So there we were in the building with slimly snakes. Of course Katelyn's favorite thing that she liked to look at was the Anaconda! 25 long minutes later we were able to go about our zoo adventure.
