Zoo trip

Mama, Lana and a Zebra. Lana kept saying neigh neigh. At least she gets the idea of sound to animals. She loved them. It was hard to make her part from them.
The elephants were also a hit. We stayed and watched them a while. They were very animated and full of life. The little one was a ham and a half. A train went by and scared them so bad they were circling each other and in a protective circle. I didn't know elephants made such crazy noises. One resembled a lion growl, who would have ever thought.

The zoo was a lot of fun this past week. Even though we all caught a little cold. Lana really liked the seals, but it was hard to catch her and a seal in the picture at the same time. Even though she barely slept the night before and woke up early she was a fairly happy camper. She enjoyed most of the animals. Yes, it's true she only enjoyed some of them. She wasn't a fan of the apes.


Here she is hiding from the gorilla. She really disliked them. She kept hiding her face and saying ewe and ahh. She cried some when we set her down to look in the window. She didn't even want to see them. She waved at one and then got shy and scared.

This guy cracked us up. He was peeking at people. It is a very playful large kitty. Lana loved him though. Our camera kept dying so we didn't get a whole lot of pictures. We hope to go to the zoo again next month before school goes into full swing. Its something we can afford to do other then the wonderful hiking and cruising around we do.
