Zoo day

Yesterday we went to the Zoo. We have had such cold and then rainy weather lately so we really wanted to get outside! it was supposed to rain but ended up holding off the whole time we were there! I love going to the Zoo it's so much fun and Maddy always is very interested in all the animals! I brought her handy little monkey backpack with us and it worked great this way she could walk all over and explore but still stay close to me so she did this most of the time and then rode in the stroller the rest of the time. She was cracking me up because when we saw the animals she would wave at them and blow them little kisses and then every time we left on animal to go to the next she would say, "Bye-bye" and wave to them!

She was excited about seeing all of animals but when we got to this snake she was a little unsure. It's head was right against the glass and it was slithering around and flicking it's tounge she kept moving backwards away from it one step at a time!

Checking out the anteaters and warthogs.

Maddy watching the HUGE fish swimming by up close and personal!

Komodo Dragons

Maddy signing "more" to me. Whenever she was really excited about what we were doing or ready to go to the next animals she would turn to me and sign "more!"

Maddy and Charlie were also very excited about finding these HUGE leaves. The went on a hunt for them and then ran all around doing "airplane arms" which is something that Daddy taught Maddy where you put your arms out behind you and run like your an airplane!

One of my favorite animals today was the sea otters. They are just so cute! What a great day at the Zoo!
