Annual Trip to the Zoo

After going to the zoo on Leila's birthday last year, we decided that it was the perfect time of year to go and decided to make it a tradition.  Yesterday we finally had good enough weather and schedules to make it happen!  So me, Leila, Ashley, Annie, and Mom all spend a beautiful afternoon at the zoo.

Leila wouldn't get close to the glass of the monkey cages unless someone was holding her.  We're thinking there may have been a little fear of heights going on.

She pointed out the nose, eyes, mouth, ears, head, and feet on this polar bear statue.

Kisses!

The polar bear tends to be the favorite part of the day.  When we first went by, he was eating lunch and wasn't much fun though.  So we stopped back by before we left and lucked out because he was back in the water, putting on his show!  Leila loved seeing the bear and would stand right up next to the glass.  She'd get a little startled whenever the bear swam right past her but it sure didn't phase her too much!
