A Day At the Zoo!

It was mandatory for Mike to work on Father's Day, so we didn't get to see him that day. We really missed him. He got the next day off for it though. I asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate and he said that he wanted to take the kids to the zoo. He is such a great dad because he is always choosing to do things that are great for the kids. Last year we came to the zoo for his birthday. I think that makes him feel the happiest as a dad, to see his kids excited; and they were definitely excited! This is Eliannah who is very excited about an animal that she could see. It was the Giraffe, which is my favorite animal at the zoo, that she is pointing at. Believe it or not, this was not her favorite. We went to the Giraffe building and Mike took them up to the second level. He said that Eliannah climbed under the gate to where the zoo workers only and he had to grab her just by her feet and pull her back. Yeah when we go to Lagoon we will for sure be getting her a monkey leash!!

Tsadakah was more excited about the Rhino than the Elephant and her new baby, Zuri. We went to the Elephant show and I really enjoyed seeing what the elephant could do! She got down on one knee like she was proposing and then down on her tummy like a dog.

Tsadakah loved to see the animals and she was so excited to see them. Just like last year all she talked about and searched for was the Lion. I don't think that they have one, so I am glad we are going to Lagoon because I think that they have some. The Tiger sufficed for the time though.

The Zebras weren't there and we missed them a lot. I didn't get a picture of Eliannah in front of the animals that were her favorite because she was so excited about them she wouldn't hold still at all!! She kept moving, jumping, and swinging. It was so cute how excited she got about the monkeys. It made me so happy to see her so excited. That reminds me that we saw an Orangutan sitting right up against the glass. He was eating a fruit and being silly. It was awesome to see face to face like that!
