Zoo Adventure

Today Claire and I went to the Columbus Zoo with my friends Deanna and Cynetta and their boys Landon & Noah! We had a great time looking at all the animals and hanging out with our friends! The kids were so good despite the warm weather! Claire really enjoyed looking at all the different animals. She kept pointing at them and making her high pitched little noise that goes along with that! It was pretty cute to watch her expressions! She loved the aquarium and the tiger (he was RIGHT next to the window so she got a great view of him!!). Thanks Cynetta for inviting us and thanks Deanna for riding with us... it made the trip so much quicker having company!!

Claire was very interested in the Orangutan!


Landon, Claire & Noah playing on the Orangutan sculpture!


The King of the Jungle! Wow... was he ever impressive. If you look closely you can see he is yawning. That is one BIG mouth, full of BIG teeth!


My favorite... the Elephants! What is it about these amazing creatures? I just love them!

Gotta love the Penguins, too! How cute!!!

Claire, Noah and Landon hanging out in their strollers! What a bunch of cuties!


Claire looking so happy on the Carousel! She took a little fall right before we got on so she was not the happiest. She definitely perked up when the ride started and enjoyed the horsey going up and down! She kept petting the horse she was on!


Love this shot of Claire from behind looking at the monkeys!

Landon and Claire posing in the flower!

What a fun time! I'm so glad Claire loved it, but how could she not? I would have been surprised otherwise. She's an animal lover...what a smart little girl!!!

What day were you there? Our Kenwood first graders went on Friday to the Columbus Zoo.

Really cute pictures of the kids. I know it was hot. Our 1st graders were to go the last part of August, but it was so terribly HOT, that they postponed it till now. The zoo said the animals are so lazy and sleep a lot when it is hot outside. Were the animals somewhat active or was it just the "human little ones" that were on the move?

Looks like a fun day for all.
