We had a great time at the zoo watching Maddie enjoying the animals. We saw otters and seals playing in the water, a dirty, sleepy polar bear, peacocks walking freely, ducks begging for food, we walked amongst the kangaroos and wallabies and watched the monkeys grooming. Maddie wanted to see the giraffes and it took us so long to get to where they were at the back of the zoo, that by the time we were approaching the giraffes she wanted to see the lion!
But my favorite part of the day was watching her chase after a squirrel and calling to the squirrel, “Wait squirrel, squirrel wait!” She chased it quite a ways over to a tree. Daddy was taking videos as Mommy picked her up so she could see the squirrel and she was so excited to tell Grandpa, “Grandpa the squirrel’s up the tree!” and “Grandma, he’s up high!” There’s no better way to enjoy the zoo than with a little one along to show you how fun it can be!
