Zoo Trip #2...

We took another trip to the zoo this week, this time with Daddy. We have had our tickets for quite some time and we needed to use them before the end of July, and we couldn't have picked a better day. There was a good chance of rain yesterday but right when we pulled into the parking lot, the rain stopped. It turned out to be a partly cloudy day, which was great.

This time around we got to see many more animals, and it was almost like we had the zoo to ourselves, which was allowed us to let Ava walk around and not ride in her stroller the entire time. We spent about two hours walking around and enjoying what the zoo had to offer, and headed out right before the crowds arrived.

Ava is the height of a newborn African Elephant....

thankfully she doesn't weight 247 lbs like Baby Zuri

again, much more interested in the water than the animals

Ava liked the monkeys

We spent a lot of time at the Aquarium, as this was once again, Ava's favorite part. She loves "wawers" and anything to do with it.

we got lucky, the polar bears were playing in the water!

We had some extra time so we let Ava go down the "big" (small) slide a couple of times.

and of course we had to try out the wobbley bridge again

One last quick hop through the kangaroo pen and we were done. We had a wonderful time and it was great that Nathan could be with us. Ava sure is a Daddy's girl and she loves it when he is able to go places with us.
