You Belong in the Zoo...



We took Sarah to the zoo for the first time on April 19th. She had so much fun looking at all the animals and seeing all the people. She was only interested in the animals that moved so if they were sleeping she didn't really care about them. Some of her favorites exhibits were the mongoose's. They were moving all over the place and going in and out of their holes. She stood there and just laughed and pointed as she got excited. She also liked the giraffe's. There was one that was trying to eat some leaves out of the tree and it had it's neck stretched way up high and kept sticking it's tongue out to reach the leaves. Sarah's favorite animals at the zoo were all the birds. Any bird she saw she would say, "Quack, quack". Even the birds that were wandering freely around the park, she would run up to them, stop about a foot away from them, point and say quack, quack.

At the Denver Zoo there is also a carousel and train you can ride so we took Sarah on both of them. It was at the end of the day so she was pretty tired but she did have a good time. She kept waving and blowing kisses to all the people as we went by on the train. It was so cute. We are so excited that Sarah is old enough to enjoy places like this. We look forward to many more outings with her. Enjoy the pictures!

Cute Pictures! Sarah is growing up so fast. I can't figure out who she looks like more - Julie or Kevin! Looks like you had a really fun day.

Zoo's are fun! I recently went with Nathan's Preschool to the zoo and it was fun to watch all those little kids run around. It was also exhausting! It looks like you had a good time. Sarah is a cutie! They are so much fun at this age huh!

How fun! It looks like you all had a great time. There is something about going to the zoo and seeing everything through a young child's eyes.
