Zoo Time

Since we had so many relatives visiting, we decided to visit the zoo!  I was so excited when the suggestion came up as this would be Faye's first Zoo experience AND I hadn't been to the zoo since Alan and I have been married.  (Yes, the zoo is that important to me.)  To beat the heat we arrived at opening time, "In line at nine!" 

Faye and I beat the other cousins to the zoo, so we enjoyed the spinning globe while we waited.  

The zoo currently has a Lego Animal display.  It was so fun to check out the Lego creations that were spread throughout the zoo.

The "free range" peacocks are always a big hit.  Faye and Braxton were intrigued, but didn't want to get to close to this guy with his tail fanned out.

Lego monkeys!

Faye and Kendra checking out this life sized Lego Polar Bear!  This masterpiece took over 95,00 Lego Bricks to make!

The zoo is always changing, they're always updating one area or another.  It was so fun to see the newest area: the Bears!  The Polar Bears and Sea Lions had pools with windows!  It was so fun to watch them swim.  Everybody was enchanted by their majesty, and in love with the AC.

Even though Faye isn't speaking much, she definitely gets her point across.  When she was done walking around she simply laid down on the floor.

 There was an adorable group of ladies visiting the zoo, all of whom were using power scooters.  Faster than a sprinting cheetah, Faye climbed onto one of the lady's lap and made as though to drive the scooter.  Luckily this lovely lady was a kindly soul and gladly shared her scooter with Faye for a few moments.

This zoo trip reminded me that Faye is definitely my child.  She was the one to always run off into the crowds and to climb up every single fence.  It was so fun to watch her go, go, go!
