Yesterday we took the girls to the zoo for the first time. We decided to get a membership and just jump right in with both feet-places like that with lots of people/stimulation are NOT their forte! It went well. keira needs to work on her zoo behaviour, but Scharae was happy as a clam to just walk around and look at everything so long as no one got in her way 
Keira...the second we got to one animal she needed to be on to the next one without even bothering to look at the first!
First we drove to John's work and parked in the parking garage. From there we took the train (transit train) to the zoo. This was Keira's first time on a train that she can really remember well and she was enthralled! I don't really have many pictures of them with the animals, because, well, you can't really see the animals if you're trying to take pictures of the girls. But here's what I have:
The girls on the elephant's circus trike:
Looking at the hippos-this is the only place Keira stopped long enough to see anything! She had to sing them "Tomorrow" from Annie
Scharae was happy to look at the hippos for all day if K would have let her! She was singing London Bridges to them
We got to gon on a zoo train for free because of our membership and because we rode the public transit to get there instead of parking. Here's John and the girls:
Scharae on the train-complete with one of her everpresent pairs of sunglasses:

Me and Scharae:
Then we rode the train back to the city. Keira had to sit over by herself (for about 30 seconds):
Scharae wasn't too sure about the starting and stopping of the train, though:

we just went to the zoo and brookie had a blast. your girls are getting so stinkin' big! they're not supposed to grow up so fast, dang it! :)sounds like you guys had fun. maybe they'll be in less of a hurry to get to the next animal the next time you go.
ReplyDeleteHey! It looks like your zoo trip turned out quite well too! The girls looked like they had some fun! The zoo is a great place to spend time and have some fun! Maybe someday you brothers will want to go to!!
