Going to the Zoo

Rachel was so excited to go to the Zoo! So excited in fact that we were not 20 minutes down the road when she started pointing at things and saying "Zoo!" Parking was crazy because everyone else had the grand idea to go today but we finally found a parking space and made our way in. The first thing she wanted to see was the elephants. We learned that one of the elephants is pregnant and next summer will deliver...boy I'm glad that my gestation isn't 2 years long!!

Here is Marc and Rachel strolling through the Zoo.

Here we are at the giraffe exhibit. Rachel loved their long necks and thought the baby one was so cute.

Most of the large cats were sleeping when we went by, but this leopard sure entertained us well. When Rachel saw it she shouted out "Tiger!" and a little boy next to her looked at her and said "No that's a leopard." Hey at least she has her looks going for her.

Rachel had her first ride on a Merry Go Round today. She thought it was the neatest thing that she could sit on an elephant and "go round and round". Infact that's pretty much what she said the entire time we were on it. When we had to get off she cried becuase she wanted to "go round again!"

How do you like my monkeys?

How cute. We need to go again. Last time we went, Toby couldn't get past looking at his own reflection in the glass. It sure makes it more fun when you see how excited they get.

How fun! Rachel is adorable. And you know, I think I went into labor with Brook about a week after a trip to the zoo. We'll keep our fingers crossed:)
