Go see the animals

This last weekend was a fun one for us!  I had to work Friday so Saturday we went to the zoo and then Sunday we took Mabel to the park and flew her new kite.  We wanted to take Mabel to the zoo for her birthday next Friday but we did it a week early so she would still be free.  She really liked the zoo!  The tiger was up and walking around and he was growling/groaning.  It was actually pretty scary!  I guess I didn't notice how big they get till it stood on it's hind legs in an attempt to get a bird from a tree.  Other highlights were watching the baby elephant play in the water, watching the monkeys, sea lions and the wolves running around.

At Hogle Zoo up by the wolves.  How cute is her romper, by the way?

 

 

 

Lama face!!  Of course the lama laid down when we took the picture but that is a lama.

 

Baby elephant.  He was spraying water out of his trunk and throwing that blue inner tube.

Now Mable keeps asking to "go see da animals?  go see da elphnt?" We may need to get annual passes.  :)  We all had a great time and I can't wait for this Friday!  It's our 5 year anniversary and Mabel's 3rd birthday.
