Wild Adventures at the Zoo

We had a fun family day at the zoo this week - yay!! Hannah spent most of the day running from animal to animal, raiding the snacks, and smelling the flowers :) She is enamoured with all animals right now, so she thought spending the day with them was fantastic! Michael had fun riding in the stroller and laughing at Hannah's antics.

Michael didn't have a neighbor for long - Hannah only sat in the stroller on the way to and from the car, and briefly while she was snacking throughout the day. . . . .
. . . . but she made sure to check in on him frequently! Hannah is always very concerned about her baby brother and likes to know that he's being taken care of :)
Sweet baby boy!!!
There were a couple of kangaroos lounging around outside, and then a couple of more inside that Hannah and Daddy had a long talk about :)

"Ssshhhhhh" - Hannah made sure to point out that the monkeys were sleeping.
Calling this bald eagle a "birdy" seems so wrong. . . . . nonetheless, Hannah insisted that this birdy said "tweet, tweet".
This elephant is just her size!
This elephant is MUCH bigger :)
A view from the top - - Hannah watched an elephant getting what she was convinced was a bubble bath!
There were a couple of stray ducks wondering around that Hannah thought she would befriend. . . .
A lone wolf was tempted out of her hiding spot when the keepers put some food out.
Our last stop of the day was to the "family farm" where Hannah was thrilled to see cows, horses, goats, sheep, and pigs to name just a few :)
We had a great day together and were all exhausted by the time we left! Hopefully we'll keep having sunny days and will be able to have more outdoor fun soon :)
