My Day At The Zoo.


One day me and my family were bored so we decided too go to the zoo and take the kids out somewhere. So we did we got everything ready and picked up all the kids. The next morning we got something to eat and headed to the zoo. It was my grandmother, my aunt and my three little cousins Christian, Christopher the twins and antwon, my cousin and her son amaj and me.


We were driving for about an hour and when we arrived at the L.A Zoo. The twins were very excited because it was their first time. I had to admit I was too. Well we got strollers for the kids and we proceeded on with our trip. We saw all types of animals. My favorite part was of course the reptiles like the crocodiles and snakes and stuff like that. The twins were in love with the monkeys.


We stopped to rest and get water and stuff walking around the zoo was sort of a workout especially trying to chase around four little kids. But I was happy to be with my family and cousins I don’t get too see very often and to be out having fun instead of in the house. So after like 30 minutes we started back walking. This is where the story gets funny.


So after we had seen most of the animals the twins wanted to go to the little petting zoo. So we did and we got there of course at first they were a little scared but eventually they warmed up to the animals and we knew they wouldn’t want too leave. My cousins are very adventurous when it came to new things.


Well while we were in the petting zoo I didn’t realize the sign that said no food. The only food that was allowed was the food they gave you to feed the goats and stuff. So I had a open granola bar in my back pocket and wow that was a big mistake so I guess one of the animals smelled it and started coming to me and I thought they were friendly and wanted to be pet.


A little while after one of them started to sniffing around my back pocket and eventually kind of nibbled on my pocket I got scared and got up and walked away and the fact that they were sort of chasing me scared me so I started running and that made it worse so they zoo people haven’t realized yet and Im still running it was two of them they looked like babies.


When they zoo keepers saw they got them and calm them down although to them it was like a game but to me I was scared out of my mind. Then I realized the food in my pocket and told my family and we all had a big laugh till this day we still joke about that it was kind of hilarious after I found out why they were chasing me.


Well after that we saw the rest of the animals the kids had fell asleep in their strollers and we were tired our selves so we bought souvenirs for us and the kids like t shirts and cup little toys and thing and we headed back home. For me that that made my summer and it was very fun even the thing with the goat its fun to be able to look back on things like that and laugh.
