I decided to take the girls to the zoo today since, A) it was a perfect day and B) we probably won't be making too many trips there this summer w/ a newborn.
The day truly turned out to be perfect! The weather was gorgeous and the zoo wasn't too crowded (always a HUGE bonus).
Hannah and Ellie loved visiting the elephants, monkeys, dolphins, otters and bears. Oh yeah, and we got up close and personal with a leopard that decided to strut his/her stuff in front of the glass window. I must say that the otters were, as they usually are, the huge highlight of the day...the girls really liked them too! :O)
Big girl by the fountain (Ellie would not cooperate to join H for this photo op.)
Nothing beats eating lunch on a bench, watching the polar bear cubs play in the water.
Playground fun...
Ellie seemed like such a big girl playing on the playground equipment mostly by herself.
Okay, girls...look at me...not that little kid over there!
Our new friend...
The only way to get both girls in the picture with the fountain...strap Ellie in the stroller! This was on our way out for the day and Hannah was pooped, so she happily sat with Ellie to pose. :O)
Yay! I was finally able to upload a video on here! (I've tried a few other times and always gave up when it took FOREVER!)
This video is from the fun times at the otter tank! Hannah literally ran back and forth (thankfully there weren't any other visitors in her way!) chasing the otter...he won. :o) Ellie wasn't too sure she wanted to get close, but she sure enjoyed squealing and screaming along with her big sister!
*This video was taken with our digital camera & then condensed in size to upload easier, so sorry if the quality is not the greatest.
