Sheep says Baa

Since I have no idea what Addi did with my camera's SD card that has our pictures from our zoo adventure you will have to settle for a shoet little video from our trip to the zoo. To weeks ago our weekend adventure was to the zoo and the beach. Lie our adventure last weekend we used a library pass to go to the zoo for free. Addi enjoyed it and would wave hi to all the animals. She liked the farm animals the best because she knows all the farm animal sounds.

After the zoo we decided to go to the beach. However, Connecticut does not have public beaches. Online it said it cost $5 for the beach near the zoo so I thought that wasn't bad. Well, it is $5 if you live in Bridgeport, $20 if you live else where in CT and $40 if you outside of CT. Since our car is still registered in Iowa they wanted us to pay $40. I was not about to pay $40 to spend an hour at the beach and by this point Addi had fallen asleep so we said no thanks and started driving away. Not even 2 blocks down the street was a public park with a parking lot and across the street was the beach. Apparently you are paying to park at the beach not use the beach. We parked at the park and walked across the street and down a block to the sandy area and spent an hour or so playing in the sand and water at no cost. Who would pay $40 to go to the beach it is ridiculous. Addi loved digging in the sand and finding shells. The water was so warm and Addi liked playing in it better than the pacific ocean water. Sorry that you all don't get to enjoy any pictures, but I didn't have my camera at the beach anyways.
