National Zoo ....the rest of the story

Here's the second installment of the pictures from the National Zoo. As the day wore on, the rain just got worse. Poor Caitlyn kept praying for the rain to stop to no avail. I am happy to say that she never lost faith though. Every time one of the kids would complain about being cold or wet, i would just say, "but we had lunch with the elephants!" Trying to stay positive, and completely ignoring the fact that the stench in the elephant house was nauseating! Over all, we had a good time, and enjoyed the family outing.

We all got a good laugh out of this sign. 100 million to a billion, huh? Pretty wide range!
