First zoo trip of the year!

Gloria and I went to the zoo two weeks ago on Monday, March 16. It was a beautiful day out - not too cold, bright sun, and no wind. Not all of the animals are out for the winter, but we were able to see many of the ones that endure the winter and early spring weather.


Our first stop was at the petting zoo. Even though we couldn't go in to pet the animals, they came right up to us at the fence. The goats thought Gloria's shoes smelled delicious!




We stayed about an hour, walking/strolling around the zoo, looking at the animals that were out enjoying the nice weather. We saw the llamas, the chimpanzees, the lions, the tiger, the mountain lions, and the bears. Gloria got really into watching the animals run around and play. We're going to have a blast at the zoo as it gets warmer.


While we were looking at the bears, I asked Gloria if she could say "bear" and she did!

When we came home Gloria crawled through my garden and let Rob chase her around the driveway! It was such a great day!
