Genevieve: Well the petting zoo was closed, but the boats were available so we took full advantage and paddled our way around a pond filled with turtles and koi. I don’t think we were missing much at the petting zoo anyways; i saw a few forlorn looking rabbits, and some sad looking dogs. 
Afterwards we walked to a nearby discount dept store and ate ramen and yaki soba (friend Japanese noodles) for lunch. We decided to buy Kenji a futon too, as he decided that he no longer liked sleeping in a crib. I guess he’s growing up!
