White chocolate gator
I've had a lot of disappointment with the zoo lately. I guess the Breakfast with Santa did it for me. Today was no exception - well all except the new gator. He was pretty cool. And it was a great day to go to the zoo. Just ask the everybodies and their mothers who were there!
OMG! I don't think I've ever seen the zoo that packed in my life on a Tuesday! Okay, yeah, it's Spring Break and since it was a yucky rainy day yesterday, everyone decided to go to the zoo today. The only time I have seen this many people there is during Boo at the Zoo.
Anyway, while dodging all them country people who've never stepped into a dentist's office (do they at least brush?), Sarah reminded us every 3 seconds that she wanted to ride the merry-go-round. "Mommy, I want to ride the merry-go-ride," and "Daddy, I need to ride it, NOW!" You know, I remember when riding the train was 50 cents. Okay, that was ages ago, but to charge $2.18 for a 2 minute merry-go-round or a 5 minute train ride?!
And speaking of high prices, I had forgotten my chap stick (GASP!) and went back to the gift shop. Boy did I ever get it in the behind just for an off-brand chap stick. But when you're an addict and desperate, you'll pay anything. So sad.
Plus, they've put up these big signs at the entrance and in the snack areas saying that they don't allow outside food, please eat at the picnic areas OUTSIDE the zoo if you brought your own fare. Ummm, NOT! I pay out the nose for this place, I'm gonna eat what I want where I want, pal. I'm not forking out a ton of dough for their crappy food - this ain't Disney World.. don't they know that?
Okay, so back to the story. There is a new gator at the zoo on loan from who knows where. An albino gator. None of us, of course, had ever seen one, and it was a real surprise. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but to tell the truth it looks like it's made of white chocolate. That's the only way I can describe it. A white chocolate gator. He was livelier than the regular gators, too, meaning that he actually MOVED. The normal gators are just a bunch of lazy reptiles! ;)
So, if you want to see a gator made of white chocolate and don't mind braving the rabble from the country, scoot on over to the zoo. I can't really say that it's WORTH the trip, especially having to weave your way through all those people, but at least it's a fun place for the kids to go.
