Another day at the zoo...

After countless times at the zoo Mackenzie finally stood in the large eagles nest and went down the log slide. Two things that she never would do before.

Mackenzie was eager to spot the animals and only a few were in hiding. The lions were really out sunning themselves and even posed for the crowd.


We stopped and had a picnic lunch and let Mackenzie burn off some energy. Of course right away she found some boys that were playing and somehow managed to bonk heads with one of them. Daddy went to her rescue and after some tears she was back running around.


I love taking pics of the 2 of them walking. This one really shows her being goofy and swinging her arm.

It's funny to me to go to a zoo and see dinosaur displays. They are back and this is the one that they had outside the exhibit. It moved and made noises and she wasn't sure what to think of it.

At the end of our day and heading for the gate.

It was a good day minus the fact that she threw her sippy cup in the duck pond and we had to retrieve it. This was at the beginning of our day and of course we still needed it. All I could think about was dirty duck poo water. I was glad to see the bathroom was right next door. And all day she had an animal magnet in her hand that she brought from home. The very last exhibit we saw were the walruses and she happened to toss it into the sea urchin area. No rescuing that. It was gone. I wonder how many things the zookeepers find when they clean those tanks!
