Yesterday was girls-only day! Maya, Sofia, Teegan, and Brianna were here for the whole day, so I decided it would be fun to go to the zoo in the afternoon. I was right...it was fun! I let the kids decide which animals they wanted to see the most, and they chose to spend extra time on the playground in exchange for missing the cat exhibit. I let the older girls play on the play structure as long as they stuck together and stayed where I could see them, and I entertained Maya and Sofia on the lower level. Maya tootled around and liked going on the slide, but Sofia was a mad woman!! She was so excited to play and run with all the other kids who were there. I had to keep an extra eye on her, because that girl is fast!
The polar bears were really neat because they were both in the water splashing and playing with their water toys. There was also an elephant in the elephant exhibit enjoying a bath just feet away from us. While Teegan didn't especially like being in the rain forest area (and who can blame her...it smells in there) she was just tickled by the tamarins chasing each other around their enclosure. They are really cute!
We drove home and Sofia's Mom was there ready to pick her up. Speaking of picking people up, Brianna spent most of her time at the house carrying Maya around. Brianna got a princess crown in her happy meal from lunch, so she put it on Maya while lugging her around the house. Princesses don't walk. P'shaw!
