The Zoo

Cambrie and I went to the zoo today. Cambrie was so excited to see all of the animals. She'd run up to an exhibit, ooh and ah, then ask for more. That's all I heard all day was "More please." It was fun to see her love it so much.

One of our first stops were the kangaroos and peacocks. One of the peacocks flew out of the exhibit and landed on the spectator railing. We both thought it was neat to see it so close.

I was pretty pleased that the large animals didn't scare her. She didn't mind getting close to the glass to look at the lions, or giving the gorilla a high-five. Yea for my brave little Cambrie!

One of Cambrie's favorite exhibit were the ducks. Weird huh? We were looking at monkeys, alligators, tortoises, and elephants, but Cambrie didn't want to leave the ducks and water behind.

Another close contender for her favorite animal were the polar bears. She loved to see them swimming and playing with their rubber balls. For awhile they were wrestling over the balls which was fun to watch.

Somewhere in the background is a rhino. I just have to show this picture because she actually turned around and smiled at the camera. There are usually zebras in this exhibit too but I guess they were more comfortable inside.

We basically had the place to ourselves today. The weather was great and there was a touch of spring to the air. It was perfect. I think the last couple of days scared everyone off. I won't complain that there weren't any crowds.

I love being a mom because I can use the excuse of my daughter to go back to the zoo again. I think I love it as much as she does, if not more. We'll be back!
