Last Monday it was a beautiful day and I decided that Babbs and I should take a trip down to the zoo. I packed us a lunch and we headed out. Unfortunately, after practicing all of our animal noises during the 20 minute drive to the zoo, once I got to the zoo gate I realized that I left my wallet at home. That meant no zoo membership, no money, and no entrance to the zoo.
I was so frazzled and upset. Poor baby was so excited once we got there I was heartbroken that I had to tell her that we had to turn around to go get my wallet. I'm grateful for her sweet attitude that day and that she was pleasant for the whole hour long drive to, from, and to the zoo again. I debated about whether we would even go back to the zoo, but I'm so glad that we did!
This zoo date was one of my favorite days in a long long long time. We spent 3.5 hours at the zoo. She was lovely the whole time. Every time we saw a new animal Evette would wave and say hello, and then, if able, would make the appropriate animal noise while watching their every move with excitement. Once she was done with a certain exhibit she would wave goodbye and say, "Bye! See you!" Adorable.
Also, we pet a giraffe. :)
Enjoying our lunch on the picnic bench by the lemurs.
we love yogurt. I should have brought a real bib and more napkins - Ha!
The zoo has a wonderful kid's play section. This is the first time that Evette was able to/wanted to play on her own. She loved it!
She climbed up and slid down this slide dozens and dozens of times. So cute.
She saw an older kid laying in this egg, so of course she had to as well. Monkey see, monkey do.
Next we stripped down and played in the stream to cool off.
Slept the whole way home. Sweet baby.
Seriously one of my favorite days with one of my favorite people.
