Zoo Day


 We deemed Saturday the perfect weather for the zoo. So we made it happen. Leah has been asking to go back to the zoo all summer. The first stop was the fountain, where I made the girls take a picture. When I was a kid, we took pictures by this fountain every time we went, too. I love how you can see Juliet saying "Cheese" in the picture. 
 Leah LOVED the Merry Go Round. No surprises there. Juliet got to ride this year, too. She was a little unsure, but I think she mostly enjoyed her 3 rides. 
 Leah takes the selection of picking an animal to ride very seriously. She really wanted the bunny the first 2 turns, but it was already taken. She finally got to ride it on the last turn!
 See Juliet looks pretty happy, but it might be because some random kid turned around and was waving to her. Juliet LOVES to socialize. 
 We had lunch and a pack of peacocks kept hounding us for food. It may have been because I was throwing them food when nobody was looking. Chris caught on and was not amused. 
 The Arctic Circle is a favorite. Leah liked watching the seals and pretending she was a mermaid under the ocean.  


 It was even cooler when a polar bear jumped in right next to us!

 Juliet liked the flamingos the best. She kept calling them birds and pointing and waving wildly.
