The Zoo

We spent a very hot morning at the zoo today.  Not sure we'll be making that trip again until it cools down significantly.  But Aunt Susan was in town and we hadn't gone to the zoo in a while so we thought that it would be a fun outing.  It was fun, but hot!  Ella got to go to the zoo for the first time and we got to put our new double stroller to the test.  Ella of course slept through 90% of the excursion.  We went in the reptile house for some air conditioning (and Addison really likes the reptiles) and I walked around with Ella so she could cool off.  As we were walking around I was telling her about the lizards and snakes, but can't say she was too enthusiastic at 8 weeks old!

Here is Ella at the sea lions

We had fun meeting with with Susan's friend Christi and her little boy Nolan.  Here are Addison and Nolan looking at the new baby elephant. 

This pic would have been really cute if missy would have been looking at the camera

Addy showing off her wingspan!

My camera got a smudge on the lens or something so this pic didn't turn out great, but here are Addison and Susan in the prairie dog exhibit.

Wouldn't be a trip to the zoo without a ride on the carousel.  I'm not sure if it was me or Michael that did this to her, but Addison was very cautious during the ride - Susan tried to get her to give her a high five at one point and Addison said she couldn't do it because she had to hold on with both hands.  Too cute!  I remember when I had to stand next to her and hold onto her during the ride and how she can sit there all by herself.  Such a big girl.
