A Day at the Zoo

We have season passes to the LA Zoo, so we took advantage of the break from school and took the kids for the afternoon. Eli is pretty used to the whole thing, so he is usually leading the way to the animals he likes- the nursery, the elephants, and the giraffes. Sierra never really reacted before, but today was her first big girl experience at the zoo where she really seemed to enjoy herself. The day ended with two cranky and tired kids, BUT before they knocked out in the car Eli said, "That was sure a fun day at the zoo, guys!" Rich and I just laughed- he went from not talking very much (last year) to talking like a little man.

Eli & the American Alligator- he thought the alligator was smiling at him.

Eli picked a red-eyed tree frog hat to be like Diego-- Dora the Explorer's cousin.

Sierra was most interested in the Flamingos.

The WILDEST animal of them all!!!
