1st Day At The Zoo!

We look at and talk about animals, in books, every day....several times a day. But this was our first time with real animals (other than our dogs).

What did she think of the zoo?

The first animal we saw was a Lion... Would you believe he was so close, AND HE ROARED!!!! Her eyes were huge and so were mine!!!I was really worried that we may need to leave after that!

These were her expressions each time we saw a new animal...

So, she was pretty serious and who could blame her after that huge roar!

But she did not seem scared, and after we looked at a 'new animal' for a couple of minutes there was LOTS of pointing...

...at the ducks...at Flamingos...I think she asking to pet the Flamingos here:)... ...at monkey's ...and I couldn't figure out what she was looking at here, but she wanted me to see it...so I smiled and nodded:)... As the day progressed she started clapping and even clapping for animals if they started running or came close to us...

Here we are, after we returned home... I think someone is tuckered out! It was really a great day and she loved seeing all the animals.

She went to sleep at 6:30pm, and I didn't hear a peep from her until 6am!

We have been visiting the zoo often, and she LOVES it!
