At the Zoo

We decided to take the girls to the zoo for our last day of Spring Break. We had no idea that everyone else on Spring Break had the same plan. The lines looked huge, but the girls figured that since we had already driven an hour to get there we might as well stay, after all they waited in some long lines at Disneyland. (Cory and I had a hard time equating long lines at Hogle zoo and long lines at Disneyland.) There was a lot of waiting involved but the girls found it worth th wait. Our first stop was "The Ghost of the Bayou" a special exhibit of a white alligator.

We saw some elephants. We were excited because we read in the newspaper a few days ago that the zoo is expecting a baby elephant next year (I think).

We also enjoyed watching the penguins waddle around.

We also loved seeing the black bear actually moving around instead of sleeping in its cave.

Jane kept pointing at the animals and even ventured to say "amul" instead of her usual "vu-vu."

We got to see the giraffes, and were really excited to see the baby giraffe. It was already over 6 feet tall. This isn't a picture of it because he was very popular.

Last but not least, we saw the Gorilla. Abbey even got to compare her size to that of the Gorilla.
