Zoo Trip

Saturday was the first non-rainy day we've had in a while, and I was bound and determined to spend the entire day outside with Anna. We spent the whole morning at the zoo and spent the afternoon taking a five-mile walk with Grandma to the library and back. It was awesome to be outside and let the fresh air and sunshine do their work!

I kind of went overboard on pictures at the zoo, but Anna's hair looked so cute in her "big girl ponytail," I couldn't resist!

This picture is a new favorite - she was watching the elephants very intently:

Kissing the bronze elephant:

One highlight of the day was getting to see "Zuri," the baby giraffe. It was her one-month birthday on Saturday! Anna kept saying, "Hi, baby Zuri" and "Hi, mommy Tessa."

Just a fun one of the two of us enjoying our girls' day. Anna was trying to see the gorillas at the time:

Another highlight of Anna's trip was this grate - she probably spent five minutes jumping on and off of it. It fascinated her as much as any of the animals. Should I be worried?!?!

The final highlight of the trip was the polar bear exhibit. The three bears were all really active, swimming around and playing with their "pool toys." All of a sudden, two of the bears started really rough-housing with each other, wrestling and playing like puppies! Anna sat and watched them for a while.

Looking forward to many more fun trips to the zoo!
