Our trip to the zoo for Mother's Day was such a success that we knew we would have to make a couple more trips to the zoo this year. Jeremy and I hadn't really decided on a time to do this when out of the blue Avery just asked if we could go to the zoo to see some animals. Jeremy had taken a couple of days off work to spend time with us, so we decided to use that time to do something that Avery wanted to do, especially since she is getting to the age where she can really express those desires.
The first thing that Avery wanted to see was the elephants. I'm not sure why, but she is absolutely obsessed with them. Luckily for us, the elephants were right inside the entrance to the zoo, so that was our first stop.
We saw so many animals, and Avery just loved to run ahead to see what was next.
We had a great time watching her recognize the animals and seeing the excitement she had at each new animal.
We planned our visit to the penguin habitat to coincide with a feeding. It was so much fun to watch the penguins, and Avery loved the fact that they were so close to us. It was cold in the penguin exhibit, but luckily we remembered a jacket for Avery, and it was a welcomed relief from the heat for Jeremy.
Avery was so cute climbing on all of the fences so she could see the animals...zebras, camels, deer and several that I couldn't even identify.
