Yesterday was London's first trip to the zoo! We slathered on the sunscreen to enjoy a day in the sun talking with the animals. It was fun to go with all the cousins,Grandma and Aunt Emily.
Our first stop, after grabbing a bite to eat for lunch were the smaller monkeys. The monkeys were London's favorite by far. While we were pointing out the monkeys to her and asking what the monkeys say London answered with "Meow!" loud and clear. According to London, elephants,monkeys,garaffes, and dogs all say meow. We've got our work cut out for us teaching her what the animals say. We also saw the tigers and leopards which she pointed to with "Kitty" and "Meow".
We stopped by the gorrillas and orangutans to see how she measured up. Height wise she is taller than the infant gorrilla, but the gorrillas definately have her beat for arm length. ( It was hard to get her to be still for the picture.) She was more interested in the geese across the path. Eisley decided she wanted a closer look and slipped through the fence. The geese to exception to that and almost got a piece of her, but fortunately Addison jumped in and pulled her out in time. After seeing the animals we took a ride on the carosel and the train. Grandma held London on the tiger while the carosel went around. London didn't seem to be sure if she wanted to be on it, but I think she had fun. When we got in line for the train she kept pulling her arm up and down for choo choo.
A fun time was had by all. After our adventures in the animal kingdom we were ready to begin our trek home.
