At the Zoo

We went to the Zoo on Monday. It was such a perfect day. It was 75 degrees out and we had all the time that we wanted. We didn't feel rushed and we were able spend a lot of time watching the animals. Both the girls were really excited to see all the animals. Every time we would walk up to a new animal cage Hallie would point to the animal and say "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" until I acknowledged that yes I did see the animal.

We went on the little train that they have at Hogle Zoo. This is Hallie's "choo choo" face. She kept saying choo choo the entire ride.

Here is Sage outside the elusive White crocodile's cage. Unfortunately a lot of the animals were taking their midday siestas. Sage kept asking "Mom is that animal real or pretend?" because they were all just sitting there. I think she was confused and couldn't quite figure out if we were at the Zoo or the Natural History Museum. She kept calling it an animal museum.


When we were looking at the Chimps Sage had her face pressed up against the glass of the cage. The baby chimp was swinging on a vine for some of the time that we were watching it and all of a sudden he swung over to the glass where Sage was standing and planted a kiss on the glass, right where Sage's face was. This freaked Sage out and she was not very happy for a while after that. Overall we had a great time and I have had so much fun with my girls this weekend while Jason was out of town.
