Birthday Zoo Trip

The Sunday after Reese's birthday we took her on her first real trip to the zoo. We went to the zoo last Christmas for the lights, but you couldn't see the animal exhibits so we thought she would enjoy it as part of her birthday week celebration. (This was also the day after her party and Momma was TIRED.) 

This was one of approximately 3 moments she actually rode in her stroller.  


 She really liked the monkey with its baby.
 Johnny the elephant was her favorite.
 And then she started to look like this...
 So we perked her back up by letting her feed the giraffe.

 We also got to see them feed the lions. Actually this was all I got to see, but she saw it and that was all that mattered.



 I'm sure a grandmother or two talked about our parenting skills when they saw her riding like this...
 And then she started to look like this again...

 So we let her push the stroller.
 And pet the animals.

 And, of course, ride the carousel.
