A Day at the Zoo

Chris decided to take off work on Wednesday morning so we could all go see the new zoo exhibit that opened last week, Amazonia. It turned out to be wonderful weather, although it got a little too hot for me (I'm hot at all times these days!). Amazonia is a simulated rain forest and has many animals from the amazon. We saw toucans, monkeys, porcupines, a beautiful cheetah, fish and turtles, and these creatures that looked like giant groundhogs in the exhibit. It was very impressive!

We decided to go ahead and see the rest of the zoo while we were there. Addie especially enjoyed the baby zebra that we got to see up close. She liked the snakes and the many different birds. We took the stroller, but she walked most of the time, which I must say is very impressive because of all the hills in our zoo! I think Chris and I were both just as tired as she was by the end of our adventure.

First of all, it was so fun to see these pictures and read this post because it was just over a year ago when we were there at that zoo with you! Addie was just a baby, and now look at her! Secondly, I am totally impressed that she walked those hills at your zoo. I remember them, and there are some really steep hills there. She must have some major muscles in those legs!
