Hey everybody,
bet you can't guess where I'm going....
To the ZOO!
To say that she was excited was an understatment.
We talked all about going the the zoo the day before we went while she ate lunch. I told her about all the different animals she'd see and she thought and thought about it.
Then, the morning of our trip we looked at our "Zoo" book, just to refresh where we were going after he nap.
All the anticipation was over, we had arrived!
The first exhibit was the Rhino's. She was amazed at just how big they really are!

Next came the Giraffes. You can see by her face (above) that she loved them!
 |
| More Giraffes and DUCKS! |

| The Ducks (Geese) were her favorite...and you don't even have to pay to see them :) |
 |
| Second favorite. |
 |
| Funny thing, she liked the statues and pictures almost as much as all of the actual animals. |
 |
| "Nose Momma!" |
 |
| Not quite big enough |
Here is a picture of Bryan and I on most days!
Just kidding!
Precious Baby hand is just too small next to those big Gorilla hand prints.
This was Mady's first time ever even seeing Seal.
None of our books talk about them.
She LOVED IT.
She went back and forth from calling him a Seal and a Fish.
I can see how that would be confusing to a 16 month old.
Mady was very much into being a Big Girl and walking every where by her self.
"Every where" included the GIANT hill/incline you have to climb to get to the penguins.
Its moments like this...when I put her down and she gets from point A to point B all by herself that I take a step back and realize that she is growing up way too fast!
Bryan and I took a mental note of it and he even said "You cannot write a better moment than this!"
Follow the yellow brick road!
Looking frustrated, but she was happy. Just one of Mady's many expressions!
The white alligator confused her. All the alligators in her books are green. She learned something new.
Over all it was a wonderful trip to the zoo. A rarity, that we all 3 we able to enjoy an entire Saturday together.
What a great family we have.
I am so incredibly thankful!
