EX OF REXOUNT TEXT
A Trip to The National Zoo and Aquarium
Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow
Cubs and the other animals. In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there
was a great big line, so we had to wait awhile to get in.

After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My
brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful. At lunchtime My
Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages, so we could have sausage sandwiches.
My Mom forgot the tomato sauce, so we had to eat them plain. In the afternoon, we visited
the aquarium. My brother was excited to see the sharks and the tropical fish. At the end
of the day when we left, we were going to go and get ice cream but we decided we were
too tired so we drove straight home, but of course I was very happy.
