The Zoo

Last Monday we went to the zoo. I know you all have probably seen tons of animal pictures, but there were a couple things about this zoo trip that made it more exciting. First of all, we went with Grandma and Grandpa. Second of all, Peter is now at the age where he really likes animals. Every so often I'd pop him out of the stroller so he would have a better view of the animals. I could always tell as soon as he spotted the animal because he would dive forward, point, and start breathing rapidly (as if he was trying to say Elephant or something). It was pretty cute. Also, Grandma and Grandpa bought Hannah a food stick while they were in with the birds. Here are some pictures:

Here's Hannah holding the food stick. A bird flew right up to the stick and started eating. Hannah thought it was pretty darn cool!

She's so serious.

Here's grandma and grandpa with a lion. They tried to get Hannah to join them but she was too scared. She couldn't understand why grandma and grandpa would willing go stand next to a lion. In fact, while I was taking the pictures she stood in front of Peter, as if to protect him. She's a great older sister.

Here we are with the Elephants. As you could have probably guessed, the kiddos are more interested in looking at the Elephant than the camera.

Here's Peter and myself with the 2 brown bears. The bears were really active and Peter was really into watching them. I had to hold him real tight to make sure he didn't dive out of my arms.

Here's Grandma and Hannah riding a snow leopard. Apparently snow leopards aren't nearly as scary as lions.

As always, we had a great time at the zoo...and with Grandma and Grandpa of course.
