The Zoo!

We took Emma to the Zoo for the first time last Friday ( May 17th). It was Tyler's first down day at Hill Air Force Base, so we got out and did something fun. We had been planning and looking forward to it for a long time. Now that school is over and Tyler gets every other Friday off, we are looking forward to doing somethings together. Emma LOVED the Zoo. And that is an understatement. She still talks about it to this day and starts to cry when I tell her we can't go today. SHe loes animals, so to seethem was quite a thrill. SHe knows all the signs for the animals we saw, so it was fun to do the signs and see the animals for her first time! As much as she loved the animals, she loved the train most of all. She sat so still and looked at everything as it went by and then when we got off, her first words were "Again!" and then there were lots of tears when we tried to go look at more animals. ( Lagoon is also on our list of things to do this summer, she is going to love it! Fun!) Here are some pictures of our trip. My mom came with us too. She took a much needed day off and spent some time with her granddaughter. We all had a great time. Cute sweet Emma on the train. She was all ready to go! She sat there like such a big girl!
This is the white alligator. It is good luck to see one of these, because they are so rare!

This turtle wanted out! Can you see him hanging onto the net? The sign said that they get anxious in the spring to go outside. But it is still too cold yet. Poor guy, I am anxious for warm weather too!

Mama and Emma sitting by a Gorilla, Emma was too scared to go by herself, so I went with her, and I am glad, what a cute shot! I love my little girl!
The sign says "Do you measure up?" Not quite, but she sure was trying!
Eating lunch on the grass. Yummy!
Waiting for the train to go! Choo Choo!
This was the baby giraffe. Emma loved him Giraffes are one of her favorites.
Penguins are her most favorite. She loves them! She wanted to see this 2 times. :)

Doing the sign for Monkey. They were hard for her to see so she just did the sign instead. :)
And here we are at the Zebras. They really are quite pretty animals I think. It was a beautiful day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. 78 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze. And with the crazy spring we have had in Utah, we will take it! ;)
