Zoo Trip Part 1

Yesterday Emmie and I went to the zoo with my friend's Christina and Jolanta from work and Christina's little boy Jackson, who's 21mo., and Jolanta's nephew Jacob, who's 3.  We had a great time and Christina and I provided comic relief to all the zoo patrons as we chased around our 2 kids while pulling a wagon behind us...we were quite entertaining.  About the time we got one child marching in line the other one would take off in the opposite direction.  But, a fun time was had by all!  This was the first time we'd been to the zoo since Emmie started walking and she had so much fun walking around and looking at all the animals.  My favorite part was that whenever she went to look at an animal she would squat down...it was pretty funny!  I let Emmie ride the carousel because the other kids were riding and she is NOT a fan...poor baby...about 30 seconds after it started she grabbed on to my neck for dear life and laid her head on my shoulder...she stayed like that for about 5 minutes after we got off...guess we won't be doing that again for awhile!
When Paul was looking at the pictures last night he got a little sad that he hadn't been able to see her at the zoo so we're going again tomorrow! 
The blue macaws have always been one of Emmie's favorite animals at the zoo.  As soon as she saw them she hightailed it over to their cage.

Looking at the kangaroos and wallabies...up close and personal!

One of the few times we actually had the kids marching in line!

She enjoyed looking at the fish.

LOVE this picture!


Jackson was OBSESSED with teh llama!  He stayed right beside it the whole time we were looking at the barnyard animals.




Watching Jolanta and Jacob feed the goats.

Jackson...still watching the llama.
