Zoo Fun!

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago with my friend Amy and her daughter Abby and had a blast. I took a ton of pictures but I'll just include a few of my favorites.

Here is Hannah right before she touched a shark. I let her try (thinking for sure she wouldn't be able to reach far enough to actually pet one) and not only did she pet the shark but if I hadn't pulled her arm back, she would have actually grabbed it. This is the perfect example of how fearless our preschooler has recently become - I was a little freaked out by touching the sharks but she just stuck her arm right in. Glad I was there to pull it back or that may have hurt!


Here we are looking at giraffes. Hannah wanted to feed them her goldfish crackers - don't worry, I didn't let her. She sure does love to share these days (sometimes ;))!

Hailey had a great time too (sleeping, that is). I don't think she opened her eyes even once.

Since I bought Hannah a stuffed animal from the zoo the first time that she ever went, I bought Hailey one since it was her first time. Of course, Hannah was over a year old before we went to the zoo for the first time, so she was able to help pick out the animal that was her favorite. This time, we went with a cute pink penguin because the penguins were really giving us a show when we saw them. They were diving and hopping out of the water and there were even some cute baby penguins. I got it in pink because it was cute - a cute stuffed penguin for a cute baby.
