Zoo

Since Kris’s 5 days off started with a VERY short trip to the cabin, we decided to try to salvage the rest of the weekend by heading to Tucson.  We made our last trip to Costco before Baby Jack arrives and stocked up on some things, plus we did a little Christmas shopping and saw our friend Sara.  In an attempt to do something fun, we took Annie to Reid Park Zoo.  It was hot, so we didn’t survive the whole zoo (okay, mom got grumpy and hot and declared we were leaving about halfway through). 

I’m amazed at how much Annie knows about animals.  One day we were walking and she started talking about squirrels.  I said to her, “How do you know about squirrels?”  She just smiled.  She’s one smart kiddo!  We knew that she would love the zoo!

Checking out the elephants…She kept saying there was a Mama Elephant and a Daddy Elephant.

Annie hated the aviary.  HATED.  There was a bird that growled at her.:)  Plus, they surrounded her (they were behind a netting).  She screamed and tried to run out of the cages.
