The Zoo!


We have been the zoo 2 times the past couple of months and I am just now getting around to posting pictures!  So this a mix of pictures from both visits.  The funny thing is Emma is wearing the exact same outfit each time!  Oops! 
This was Emma's first carousel ride.  It started off good...
...but ended like this.  Jared is really happy that she is screaming!  hehe :)
The birds were a little scary at first.  Only because one landed on top of her head!
But Emma quickly warmed up and LOVED the lorikeets!
This was the second visit to the zoo.  Emma wasn't scared at all of the birds this time and even tried to get close to one!
Birds love my hubby.  Not just because he had nectar here- they are just naturally drawn to him.  His neighbor in college had a bird that would sometimes stay outside and she would wander over to his door and peck at it saying "Roxanne!" (that was the bird's name).  Seriously, birds just have a thing for him :) 
The kangaroos are always fun to see and they have a little "mine" that the kids can go in.  Here is Emma putting on her mining hat.
Emma loves big kids.  We went to the zoo with some friends and their 5 year old girl and they had so much fun together!
Petting the goats was another one of Emma's favorites.  She did such a good job being gentle.
We also rode the train during the second visit, but Emma was not a big fan.  She clung to me the entire time.  Maybe we'll wait a while before trying the rides again!  Overall she had a great time.  We are looking forward to going back soon and playing in the water fountains!
