Zoo Trip!

We had a wonderful at the zoo last week for our field trip. Emily is the perfect age! She knows all the different animals & sounds (& signs). Her feet were moving so fast that her poor little body couldn't keep up & that spells disaster. Lots of falls & bumps & bruises! Still a great time. One of her favorite animals is the elephant. She tries so hard to say "elephant" but all that comes out is "epadnt". Close. She also got to feed a giraffe. She was so incredably brave. If Matt or I wanted to accompany her up there we would have had to pay as well (which seemed stupid but we followed the rules). Anyhow, she went up there with the boys & a guide. They showed them how to feed them & a little information about the giraffes. She walked right up, stuck her hand out & had no fear! The zoo here has a Farm with a petting zoo (goats, a cow & a horse). They had a blast petting the goats. Emily had to go around & touch every goat. She had a rubber brush (provided) & brushed as many as she could. We also played at this little hidden park by the wallaby's. She took some fabulous pictures...
