A Day at the Zoo

A few weeks back, we snuck away for the day and headed for the Zoo. Now we bought a membership last year and I thought for sure we would be hanging out there more often. But there aren't many days I feel like spending a few hours in the car with everyone, hee. hee. So I thought I would share a bit from our most recent trip. It was pretty exciting because we had a real good view of the baby polar bear and its momma playing around. This is the first year that Natalie is really into the animals, so I loved seeing her reactions. It was cute because she knew that was a mommy and baby and kept telling us so. "mommy? baby?" then she would point and just laugh. They were wrestling around and pulling each other into the water. Great! Also they had new baby goats out in the children's petting zoo, they were a bit skittish, but Natalie and Elena were determined to pet them!
It was a great day to go, nice and cool - the animals were all out and active.

Grandma Janet came along with us for the day, so the traditional pose by the tigers.
This one was cracking me up, this little girls family was by us, but she insisted on hanging around with us and when I was trying to take the picture, she wasn't moving. Oh well.
Now we are hoping the next few weeks to get out to the other great zoo's we have here.
