The Zoo

We had a visit from Meme & Grandad over Memorial Day weekend and one of the "musts" on the agenda was a trip to the zoo. It was a perfect day! The weather was great so we got to see lots of animals moving around. This was Mallory's first trip this year and it was a lot more fun for her (and us) since she knows so many of the animals and sounds they make, etc.

She loved watching the monkeys, gorillas, orangutans, etc...

There was a lot of pointing going on ... "hey, hey, see-em?" (see him?)

Those same two ... showing off.

Casey said to me at this exhibit ... do you think the momma monkey ever looks at the baby monkey and says, "Will you just go find something to do? You're driving me nuts today!" Made me laugh...

Mallory was thrilled with the aquariums ... she also loved the penguins when they waddled around and jumped in the water.

Shortly after the fish we saw two snakes, I don't remember what kind, but we obviously caught them at lunch time. BOTH had mice in their mouths ... half way ... one was making steady progress ... quite a sight.The "cooling mist" areas were equally as exciting to Mal as the animals.

We hit the petting zoo ... loved feeding the goats, though she was not a fan of the bigger, pushier ones ... too aggressive! Then it was home for a nap, but not before she snagged a snack
