Zoo

This weekend the weather is amazing, so we decided to take a trip to the zoo. While we were there we decided to become zoo members. Wow, do I feel like a real grown-up now. Now we can take Addison whenever we want and for as long as we want. We don't feel like we have to be there all day to get our money's worth. We can come and go as we please. I think shorter trips will make it more fun for everyone. Tim and I were so excited to take Addy. She loves Cleo, Ace & Annie (our cat and dogs), so we figured the zoo would be tons of fun for her. Well, our little princess either didn't have a good day or is more of a domestic animal type of girl.

This picture pretty much sums up the trip. Unimpressed.

We thought she would love to see the chimps, so we waited as the trainers filled their toys with food. About 30 seconds after all of the chimps entered their cage Addison wasn't feeling it. She clung to us and wanted out of that room. This is pretty much how she looked in the room.

Tim thought it would be fun to ride a camel. Addison didn't seem to love the heights or the hump.
Tim said she was tightly gripping the handle the whole ride.


The tortoise should be pretty harmless right?
Well she wouldn't touch it for anything.

Finally, mom I know what that is!!!

The carousel! Most trips to the mall include a carousel ride. We usually sit on an animal and ride up and down, but today she just wanted to sit on the bench. We did manage to get a few laughs and smiles though!


Of course every trip to the zoo is not complete without pictures behind a cut out.



As we were leaving the train went by tooting its horn. Addison pointed and jabbered at it, so next time we are going to try out a train ride. Until then my little sensitive princess is going to have to toughen up and not be so scared. We didn't even make it to the lion, tigers or bears. Oh my!
