Family Day at the Zoo

Neal and I celebrated President's Day with a great trip to the zoo with Meredith. We told her last night that we were planning to go, but when we woke up to chilly temperatures this morning, we were second guessing letting her in on our plans! We decided to just bundle up and go since we knew it would be hard to convince her to do anything else - and we were so glad we did. It turned out to be warmer than we anticipated and there were very few people there, which made it seem like a private day for us!

I have decided we should rent Meredith out to be an official zoo tour guide - as we walk around from animal to animal, she announces "Penguins next!" before I even remember that the Penguin house is right around the corner.

After seeing the elephants, she made sure we knew that "I ride little elephant next."

One of Meredith's favorite things to do at the zoo is to feed the fish by the giraffes, she loves it so much she didn't even notice that the giraffes weren't out today - as long as there is fish food, we will always be fine.

This proved a little closer than she would have liked after the bird got spooked and flew off - Meredith came running to me and decided we were all done with the bird feeding.

Meredith forgave the birds long enough to pose with Daddy.

Can you tell Meredith loves the train?
