First Trip to the Zoo!

On Saturday, I mentioned to Scott, "we really should take Audrey to the Zoo sometime - she would love it!" About two hours later, we were headed to the Zoo - how spontaneous are we?! The weather was really nice - sunny, but breezy and cool - a perfect day to walk 5 miles at the Zoo! I hadn't been to the Zoo since high school and either they've changed it a lot or I just didn't remember it, but it is really spread out! We made the mistake of starting in Australia and it was totally old school - small, smelly cages and the animals are so bored that they sleep all the time. We did get to see some chimpanzees and there was even a baby chimp playing hide and seek under a blanket - Audrey was loving it!

So we got our map out and decided we should head straight to Africa - we only had a certain amount of time before we had to head home for nap time! We wanted to see the gorillas so we walked across this scary swinging bridge only to find that they were all hiding! We tried to see the lions, but they were also hiding. We did get to see some elephants and Audrey was intrigued.

She was more interested in trying on my sunglasses!

We also got to see some tigers, sea lions (she loved watching them swim around!) and some other random hogs and monkeys. I think she had a good time! We'll have to go back again when we have more time to kill. She is just getting over a cold and has at least 3 of her molars coming in, so she's been a little out of sorts lately and sleeping even more than usual - poor little girl!

I insisted on having at least one photo with Mama and Audrey,
but she was ready to go home for her nap and was NOT interested in posing!
