Zoo

Justin played hookey today! We left early to visit the zoo for the morning. Our visit was so fun! We finally saw the white alligator, the new tiger area, and admired the renovations. For the first couple hours Amelia was pretty quiet. Her eyes were huge as she tried to soak in all the new information. Her eyes were as big as saucers when she finally noticed a huge gorilla (mi-mi). She zoned in on the animals that were moving around. She really liked the elephants, cougar, zebras, giraffes, and monkeys. Towards the end we visited the reptile habitat. It really stinks because of the porqupines, ironically that was when Amelia loosened up. Maybe she likes the smell of dirty armpits. Actually, I think she liked being able to walk around and touch the glass near where the animals were. The merecats were a huge hit because they crowded around her tiny hand on the glass and bobbed up and down. On our way home we stopped for McDonald's. I am not a huge fan of McDonald's. Today was an exception. The salty fries and buger tasted like heaven after being outside in the hot sun. It was the best l-u-nch I ever had (said in a Nacho Libre fashion).
