The Zoo

So a few weeks ago, after the 100 degree heat but before the highs in the 50's like today (yes all you Georgia folks can be jealous), we took Maddie to the zoo. It's hard to believe how much she has grown since our last visit last summer.




One of the first animals we saw were the "monkeys"


Saying "bye, bye monkey"


Then on to the ducks (lots of pointing all day)




and finally, what we had been waiting all day for, the loin house. Maddie LOVED it! The smaller animals were "kitty, kitties" and they said "meow"


But this was by far the star of the day. She was sitting atop a rock in the cage just roaring over and over again. It was so cute, Maddie roared right back at her every time.


Unfortunately there were a lot of people around her so we didn't get any good pictures with her and Maddie. We actually did get many good pictures at all! It is so tough to get a toddler to sit still and look at a camera, y'all. Especially when there were all the awesome animals to look at. We are definitely looking forward to taking her back to Zoo Lights this winter.
