Our Day at the Zoo!

On Labor Day, we decided to take advantage of Stephen having the day off of work! It isn't often that he gets to take off- so we decided to make the day all about Abby Anne. We are members of the Little Rock Zoo- so we go every chance we get. We went a lot throughout the spring and then that Arkansas summer hit- so we weren't able to go as much. Labor Day was the perfect day for the zoo- we went in the morning before the heat hit, and there was a nice little breeze. Stephen and I were amazed at how much more interested Abby Anne is in the animals NOW then she was just a few months ago! Abby Anne loves feeding the fish (or as she says (Bish.) It is definitely one of her favorite things to do at the zoo and something we just have to do each time we visit. In fact, on Labor Day, Abby Anne got to feed the fish a whopping 4 times- thanks to the 4 quarters in Daddy's pocket. Abby Anne also loves the elephants (or the Boom Booms.) She will just sit and stare at those huge animals forever. She is also fascinated with the huge turtles. On Labor Day, Abby Anne got to watch the turtle eat his breakfast. Abby Anne has made friends with the giraffe at the zoo. When the giraffe is in its house, he will come up to the window, and he and Abby Anne will have starting contests. The giraffe also tries to lick Abby Anne through the glass - which she just isn't so sure about! She doesn't like that long, black tounge. We also rode the train. We had a "wild" day at the zoo and enjoyed our family time! These are the times I will treasure for years to come!
