Our Trip to the Zoo
Last Saturday, my family and I went to the zoo. It was a perfect sunny day. First, we saw a big, furry bear eating its lunch. Then, we walked to the monkey exhibit. The monkeys were so silly! They swung from tree to tree and chased each other. Next, we visited the reptile house, where we saw a huge python. My favorite part was watching the playful penguins swim. We had a wonderful time at the zoo!
