The Zoo
Yesterday we decided that since it was such a nice day we would take Hadlei to the zoo. She hasn't been there since last summer and we figured that she would probably enjoy the animals a little more this time around. There weren't many people there which was a good thing because I hate crowds.
She loved all of the animals. When we got to the monkeys she said,"There's King Kong!" It was a furry black monkey and when he swung over to the glass right in front of her she backed up and said,"Oh gee! King Kong get me!" I couldn't stop laughing. She saw a few animals that are in her Diego and Dora movies and she had to tell us about each one. She especially loved the spectacled bears. We were at that exhibit for almost 20 minutes!
Her other favorite were the penguins. It is a really nice exhibit. They swim right in front of you and she was chasing one of them that kept swimming past her. As we neared the end it started to rain so we finished just in time. We took her into the gift shop and she picked out a fuzzy baby penguin and a baby snow leopard.
We all had a fun time. I would love to take all of the kids to a bigger zoo. This one isn't bad but it's the same thing every time and most of the animals are sleeping! Maybe next summer we'll check out the Rochester Zoo.Labels: family, fun
