This morning, Janie asked if we could go to the zoo today. With Daddy back now, it was the perfect outing for us. We were all up early and got to the zoo right before it opened. It was so nice and empty at that time.
We saw the penguins eat and the monkeys play. Janie also liked hanging like the monkeys.
All morning, Janie kept saying, “Let’s go find the peacocks. I’m not scared of them anymore.” She also posed as one again.
Here are the baby and daddy giraffes too.
Daddy also compared his wingspan with the bald eagle’s.
Here’s the lazy polar bear lounging around.
For some reason, she HAS to see the flamingos every time we come.
She needs a little work on her imitation of them.
The playground has a new area featuring a bunch of animal models. She was so happy to find a puffin. She recognizes it from the front of her cereal box.
There was plenty of sliding this morning.

And we convinced her to try out the rope ladder today. It wasn’t nearly as scary as she thought it would be.
Here she is on the big kid slide.
We’re also more comfortable with her on the big kid swing now too.
She still makes Mama a little nervous but she was able to hold on the whole time while Daddy gave her big pushes.

What a fun morning at the zoo! Our membership expires at the end of this month and we really made the most of it. We’re also happy to have Daddy back home!
