Zoo Week – Friday

On the last day of our zoo week we will see our trip to the petting zoo. I really liked the fake over-sized hollowed-out tree the best. I ran around in there quite a bit.

Mary running around the hollowed out tree. Mary walking towards the camera purposefully. Mommy and Mary sitting in an over-sized chair. Mary and mommy bent over the steel pail washing their hands from the spigot.

Zoo Week – Thursday

Today we look at the wallabies, the budgies and the mountain lions. My favorite was the wallabies, they hop like bunnies and I like bunnies. We also saw the budgies (they are really birdies). They weren’t real exciting, but one birdie landed on Mommy’s head and daddy got it off. Then it landed on my head. I think that’s how they say, “Hi.”. I’m glad they all didn’t say, “Hi.” I blew them kisses and we left. We also saw Mountain Lions. They roar, and they live in the mountains. Sometimes they walk through neighborhoods in our town.

Zoo Week – Wednesday

Today we look at the elephants. You can’t see them but you can see mommy demonstrating what an elephant says. I tried it but mommy and daddy laughed. Maybe I did it wrong. I will have to keep practicing.

Mommy making a noise like an elephant and holding her hand out in front of her nose to mimic an elephant. Mary looking at the camera in confusion while mommy laughs.

Zoo Week – Monday

Last week I went to the zoo and my daddy took a whole bunch of pictures (about 117), so this week will be a themed week. Each day will be a different section of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Today is our visit with the giraffes. They had a new baby and she is much taller than me.

You can see the baby giraffe behind her. Mary and mommy.  Mommy has on her sunglasses and Mary is looking the other way with a squint.
