The weather was perfect for the zoo this morning and it was our best trip to date. We go to the zoo a lot since we have passes, but today was the first time ALL of the animals were out and alert. Amelia just loves animals so much that it never gets old watching her reaction to them.
A couple of special events today:
The prairie dog had just had babies and the mom came over to see Amelia through the glass.
The Lorikeet exhibit was open (has been closed for construction) and Amelia got to see them up close and tried to chirp.
The zookeeper had the African turtle out and Amelia got to pet it. She was quite upset when it was another little girl's turn. Ha.
We used to skip the reptile house, but Ross made us go inside it the last two times. This time Amelia saw the snakes and started saying, "Ssssssssss" and her favorite exhibit (cried when we left) was the Alligator Snapping Turtle.
A great day and a picnic at the zoo after we saw all the animals. Ross and AC are asleep and I might join them.
P.S. I might ask for a Springfield Zoo Membership for my birthday. Hint. Hint.
Yeah my precious girl! Beautiful blue skies in your photos,so glad you had a great day with the animals.Good girl for taking turns.You need a yellow or green hat with that outfit, Gampy said.I thought that was funny. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome day at the zoo! So glad Amelia is an animal lover like her aunt steph. How precious that the prairie dog came over to see Amelia through the glass?? I love it! The turtle picture of you two was great. (side note: your hair color looks astounding in that pic) I might have to get over my 'zoo-depression-problem' and join you and AC in Springfield soon.
