Zoo Day

We took Avery to the Zoo (for the 1st time!) today....something special for 'just her' before baby Hannah's arrival. We told her the plan earlier in the week so of course she was ecstatic once we finally got there!


Giraffes
Checking out the lions


Elephants

Children's Petting Zoo

They had brushes for the kids to brush the goats. Daddy thought it would be funny to tell Avery to brush Mommy's hair.

"No way Daddy!" Only the goats.

Thanks Aves.

One of her favorite parts of the trip....the playground!

Inside the Hippo's mouth.

Fountains.


Last stop - the gift shop, where Avery picked out a bear for herself & Hannah's first animal - the lion. We think she'll love it!

What a special day with our great girl!
