A trip to the zoo

The zoo is one of our favorite places to go. Yesterday was the first time that Paul got really excited about seeing the animals. It was also our first time to ride on the carousel and train.

Stephen requested I take his picture with the gorilla.

Fun in the sun

Last week we had a couple fun outings. We went to a nearby lake where we played and fed the ducks. We created quite a frenzy with our bread. I was afraid they might come after us when we were done.

 On Friday we ventured to the zoo again. We got to see the new elephant exhibit and were in time for an elephant show. Two other highlights were seeing this monkey trying to crack the coconut on a rock and this tiger looking right at us.

A trip to the zoo

We ventured to the zoo yesterday. It was a warm day, but we enjoyed our little outing. Cousin Morgan accompanied us to Stephen's delight. She had him giggling almost the whole way there. The highlights of our trip were seeing a 2-month-old leopard on her first day on display, giraffes, a swimming elephant, and the flamingos. We're looking forward to more trips to the zoo this summer.

Paul enjoyed the zoo trip as well.
