It was a beautiful morning and we spent it looking at animals of all shapes and sizes. Monkeys, camels, tigers, gazelles, fish, dolphins, etc. But the exhibit that Anna loved the most was the Farm Babies exhibit. There were farm animals of all kinds, each with their new babies. Anna's favorites were the "piggies", she talked about them for much of the afternoon. Anna also loved that she was free to roam at the zoo. After an hour or so in her stroller she decided that it was time for her to walk all by herself almost the whole way back to the car. She was so tired, she took a rare 3 hour nap!
Later, re-energized we took to the outdoors again. We played with her sand table, a ball, and took a wagon ride to the park. At the park Anna ran into her friends Maggie, Lizzie, Joey & Ellie and she played with them for a long, long time. Maggie, the oldest of the bunch (1st grade) took charge and helped Anna up and down the stairs and convinced her to go down the slides with her (a feat that neither of her parents have been able to accomplish). Whenever she'd reach the bottom she would yell "AGAIN!" and Maggie would run after her only to help her down the slide all over again. The 5 kids made a big choo choo train down the slide a few times as well. It was so fun to watch! What a fun spring/summer this is going to be!

Like father - like daughter. Steve lived OUT-side for much of his childhood. You are lucky to have the park so close. Enjoy the coming of spring!
