Zoo Atlanta

We went to Zoo Atlanta yesterday; Kaylee's first trip, and Jamie thinks it was his first time there, too! I hadn't been in years, myself. We met up with Margaret and Nate (who literally ran to catch us, as I missed her calls...oops!) We had a great time - were there about 3.5 hours, including a break for lunch. Kaylee really enjoyed it, and made lots of animal sounds while there - her recent favorite is roaring like a lion (I've woken up a couple mornings lately to the sound of a roaring lion on the monitor!), and those were some of the first animals we saw! Flamingos first, which Kaylee got a kick out of, then a python (zoo keeper just standing around holding one on the walkway! No touching, but Kaylee hissed to it. :) ) then the lions and elephants...and on and on. (Meerkats in the first one with her in the stroller - she was pointing at them and laughing. They were running in and out of the tunnels that connected the two sides of their space - you can see one peeking out of each tunnel hole.) Enjoy the photos! As you can see by the end, both she and Nate were wiped out!!!










Oh - and I dressed her in red, white and blue, since we have a few July 4th outfits...this one says "All American Girl."

I LOVE that picture of Kaylee on the lion. You've inspired me to make more animal sounds when I put Elena on the figurines at the park. That's too cute about her roaring when she wakes up.

We'll have to take Elena to a zoo soon. We haven't gone yet; it looks like you had a great time.

Posted 2 videos yesterday - one from the zoo trip, and one from 3 trips to Catch Air. She roars in both videos. :)
