Florida Day 6

Thursday we went to the Central Florida Zoo. The zoo was about 40 minutes away. Ma went with us. It was a very intimate little zoo. Oliver didn't seem to interested in it. It's tough to be interested in much after Disneyworld. The coolest thing we saw was the elephant exhibit. There was a bird that was poking around in the elephant's territory. He didn't lie that too much so he chased him around the entire enclosure, grabbed a log with his trunk and THREW it at the bird! It was nuts!! The other thing we really liked were the lemurs. They make such unreal sounds! The most disappointing part of the zoo was the stinkin' australia exhibit. 3 emus and 3 kangaroos. Come. On. pathetic.

We spent the afternoon in the pool and dinner was bbq chicken, steak florentine and potatoes. Oliver was so tired he fell asleep before dinner!

The most exciting part of the day was that Shane got a call back from the rental car place and they told them to go down to the office and they'd take off one of the insurances completely and would only charge us the other one until that day. They just wanted to make sure there was no damage. We went down after dinner. The manager was expecting Shane and was so polite. She even decided to charge him for only 3 days of the insurance instead of 6! Shane made sure to tell her that this same thing happened to his Dad with Budget and they wouldn't help him at all. He then said whenever we travelled now, we would always use Payless (and you should too!) She said that they wouldn't make him pay for anything he didn't want. It was so great. She then glanced at the car across the parking lot and said "Doesn't look damaged to me." In the end, she took $140 off of our bill. That worked swell for us since the next day we were going shopping!

We ended the night with some delish triple chocolate ice cream on the porch, just the two of us.
