First Trip to the Zoo

After relaxing on Saturday, Chip and I decided to venture to the Montgomery Zoo with Karlee on Sunday morning. Let me tell you, go on a Sunday morning right when they open at 9:00. You have the whole zoo to yourself. It also wasn't too hot today so the animals were out and about roaming.

We started Karlee out walking on her own to stretch her legs after the car ride. She did great. No running from us or climbing on the fences!! She later held her hands up and in the stroller she went for the rest of the trip. It was a great morning and we had so much fun.

Karlee loved seeing the animals and making the sounds they make. Birds are her favorite and we heard "tweet tweet" pretty much the whole time. She growled at the tigers, lions, and bears but didn't know exactly what to do with the monkeys! She called the bear "Bubba" because that's the name of her favorite stuffed animal at home. She liked the flamingos too. I've got to get on video her saying that word. It's so funny! She waved and blew kisses to all of the animals (even to two wolves that were fighting - we didn't hang around that part too long).

We are looking forward to the next adventure we take Karlee on (hopefully the aquarium once the schools get back in so it won't be so crowded). We are loving these "firsts" we get to enjoy as a family.
