The Elmwood Park Zoo

On Sunday, we went to the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown after church. It's a small zoo geared toward younger children and has a park feel (there are lots of shady areas under trees). We had a good time together, but in the end, Ella's favorite parts of the zoo were: jumping around and finding pine cones and sticks, walking through an old train on display, crawling through a plastic prairie dog tunnel, and playing at the zoo's playground (where most of the other visitors were).

(Ella said, "It's Daddy's train!"--any train, anywhere, is Rob's train that he takes to work)
