The Zoo

Last week, the zoo began running TV ads for their newest edition, Zuri the baby elephant. Ky was mesmerized by these commercials. Then, when taking her to Preschool on Wednesday she began to cry as we pulled into the parking lot. She told me that she "yikes school" but that she thought we were going to see the "baby ele-phant." Ty and I both dislike the zoo, but for these two girls, we'll do just about anything to see them smile. So, we found a pleasant afternoon and off we went.

They liked the monkeys a lot, and Savvy even lovingly named every single one of them "Captian Huggy Face"

Ky loved the carousel! She especially loved the mirrors in the center. Savvy liked the benches that didn't move up and down.

Then we hit the elephant exhibit, and Zuri was very cute! She ran around playing with a ball and both the girls thought it was hilarious. However, the mama elephant then decided to do her business, and that was the most hilarious thing ever. At lunch when I asked Ky if she liked the elephants, she giggled and told me "big stinky!"

We let the girls order the special kids meals so that they could get the baby elephant cups, and it was definately worth it! Savvy just kept saying how much she "loved it!"

It really was worth the trip, and the amount of smiles and giggles made it all worth it. Even after five hours Ky was sad when we had to go, we'll have to plan another fun outing soon!
