Zoos Galore

(this picture cracks me up.)

We've got to go to the zoo twice in the past month. First it was to the Austin zoo with my dad and Rocky. Then it was to the San Antonio zoo with our friends the Ronks who happen to have sweet annual passes that got us in for free! Both times were so fun.

Adelaide was obsessed with the tortoises. She got so excited any time they moved. I don't know how many times she said, "He moved his head." Wow, kid. There are lions around the corner.

The petting zoo was still one of her favorite parts. He once again (like our trip almost a year before) did not hesitate to feed the goats or deer.

I think Adelaide's favorite part of the San Antonio zoo was having tons of her friends with her. Climbing on everything was a theme of the trip.

More climbing.

We didn't have change to get food for the goats at the San Antonio zoo so Adelaide had to settle for brushing them instead. Settle? No. She loved brushing their hair.

And hugging them.

There was one animal Adelaide was afraid of however-- the hippopotamus. She didn't want to go near it. She came up to me explaining why, "it's under water and big mouth!" I wish I could have captured her body language to show his big mouth. Now when I'm brushing her teeth at night I ask her to open her mouth like a hippopotamus. I get way better results than when I asked for an alligator mouth.
