First Zoo Trip

We took advantage of the ridiculously beautiful weather and headed out to the Phoenix Zoo last weekend. I've always loved the zoo and Ellie took right after her Mama. She had a blast! I'm pretty sure (other than zoo lights which I may or may not drag JP to every single year) that this was the first zoo trip for JP in who knows how long. It's funny how I can get him to do things now that we have a baby.

Softening him up I suppose. :)

 

I practically begged suckered him into buying a zoo membership.

So, there will be many more zoo trips in our future!

 

 

This kid LOVES petting zoos!

 



 

This was entertaining, to say the least.

 

 

I may or may not have promptly used 1.5 bottles of sanitizer on our way out the door - after compulsively washing her hands with soap and water.

Watch out - crazy, germ mama on the loose!

 

My favorite part of the zoo - Monkey Village!

 

Apparently Ellie felt.. uh.. rather at home when in Monkey Village.

 

 

My second favorite part of the zoo, the giraffes! 

 

Which by the way, as if they don't already charge an arm and a leg to get into the zoo, you now have to pay to feed the giraffes! Good thing our handy-dandy little membership got us a basically non-existent discount. Luckily for them, we're suckers obliging customers and will always pay the fee for the fun stuff. 

 

 

 

Ellie was fascinated by the life size Sophie!

 

 

Her new BFF.

 

 

 

And in this moment, Ellie decided it.was.time.to.go.

 

 

No more lions, and tigers, and bears for this monkey baby.

Until next time, that is.
