Daddy's Taking Us To The Zoo!

Jay and I both had the day off, so we took Lucy to the zoo. We all had a blast! The weather was beautiful, a little hot, but cool enough that the animals were out to play.





At first Lucy was more interested in watching the kids than the animals. She was especially fascinated by a little girl who was eating a sucker.




Our first stop was to see the black howler monkeys. The monkeys were behind a glass wall. We pushed Lucy's stroller up close to the window, and she watched them for a long time. They were eating spinach, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Lucy has recently sampled carrots and sweet potatoes herself, although the monkeys were enjoying their fare much more than Lucy does.


After we watched the monkeys play, we took Lucy to the elephant exhibit. She was more interested in the fence than in the elephants.


Daddy and Lucy by the elephants.


We stopped to pose near this elephant statue. It played "Pop Goes the Weasel."


Our next stop was the penguin pool. Lucy liked watching the birds dive in the water. Her feet were kicking with excitement.


"Is your mamma a llama?" I asked our sweet Lucy. If you look carefully, there is a llama behind us. We had to take our picture with the llama because we like reading the book, "Is Your Mamma a Llama."


We made it to the mandrill exhibit at feeding time.


While we posed for a picture with the giraffe, the Fearless Leader was eating the map. If you look carefully, you can see a piece of it in her mouth.


We had to convince Lucy that this was not Geoffrey the Toys R Us Giraffe. LOL.


We all had a great time at the zoo. We can't wait to go back.
