The Zoo

We finally caved in and purchased an annual pass to the zoo.  We braved the rain yesterday and went to check out the animals and the new dinosaur exhibit.  Andy has reached an age where he really enjoys going on outings.  In the car ride home he asked us, "what was your favorite part of the zoo?"  We look forward to many more outings as a family.  Since it was raining, we basically had the zoo to ourselves.  Katie was a trooper and Andy was taking everything in.  Note to self, dinosaur exhibit at the end of a long trip to the zoo...past nap time...without explanation that dinosaurs are NOT real like the rest of the animals = meltdown central.  It was humorous to Kyle and me, but after about 10 pictures we decided it was time to leave.

First stop was the hippos.  Andy didn't want to get out of the stroller as he was a little afraid of the hippos.

Next we were able to see the giraffes eating lunch

And then we were able to feed the elephants!  Andy was excited about the idea, but when it came his turn to feed the elephant, he needed a little pep talk.

Katie wasn't so sure either



And last, but not least, the dinosaurs. 

First glance

Quote, "I want to go home."

I am laughing as I post these pictures, does that make me a bad parent?

Andy asked what Katie's favorite part of the zoo was, and I responded with the dinosaurs.  He looked at my and said, "noooo, Katie didn't like the dinosaurs."
