first trip to the zoo

The week before school started, my sister Emily called and invited us to go up to the zoo with her family. Since Em wanted to go on a Friday, Gustavo was able to go with us. This was Ella's first trip to the zoo.


Anne, Max, Olivia, Abbey, Ella, and Jane after the bird show.
Ella was so excited when we sat down for the bird show and she saw birds. She kept signing "bird." at that point she was signing it on her forehead, now she signs it correctly by her mouth :)
Baby Zuri was my favorite
Abbey was excited to see the ostriches because someone in her class told her there was a new baby. She was disappointed when we saw there was only one adult and it was "an ugly looking bird."
Gustavo always says the penguins are his favorite.
Ella liked the giraffes best. As soon as she saw them she excitedly yelled "DOGGY."
This huge iguana was just wandering around the reptile house.

We left a little bit sooner than everyone else because Ella was exhausted. She was asleep after only 1 or 2 minutes in the car.
