Zoo!

This past weekend we went to the zoo. It is the 4th time we have taken Everleigh to the zoo. We just love it and she is finally at an age where she clearly loves it too! The past two times we've gone were in June and September (of the hottest summer on record) and were HOT. This time, it was about 70 degrees outside (exceptionally warm for January, but we'll take it) and a beautiful day. We got there early and were back in the car by naptime. She ended up taking a four hour nap (!) she was so worn out!

Enjoy the pictures. It is so fun seeing things like the zoo through the eyes of a toddler. So much wonder and excitement. I can just see her little brain working trying to figure things out. It's great. This year we are members and have the benefit of free admission. I am so looking forward to many more trips and photos.

Seeing some birds, I think they are her favorite.

 

Watching a pacing Emu. I love the look on her face!





This is one great photo!



  

These guys appeared to be fighting, but I think it was just friendly play.

Matching hairbows!

The goat petting zoo!

The last time we were here, in September, she just stood there, unimpressed.
This time she ran up to every goat, pointed at it, then excitedly ran to the next one. It was very cute!

This is how she pet the goats! :)

Oh, and in case you noticed our coordinating attire. This was the morning of the Houston Texans first playoff appearance (which we won, Go Texans!) and we wanted to show our support. About 60% of the zoo visitors were also showing their support. It was pretty cool.
