Family Zoo Day

Today was SUPPOSED to be a nice weather day in the Washington DC area - while it wasn't quite a perfect sunny, warm day, it wasn't too bad.  We took advantage of the mild "winter" day by planning a play date with one of Michal's August boys.  During our outing today, we realized that the kids first played together just about a year ago, when Liam stole Michal's socks and she had her first celebrity experience - it is incredible to think of them then and to see them today.  

Meeting at the front of the zoo

Liam REALLY wants to give Michal a hug.  It looks like he's trying to get her into a choke hold, but truly he just wanted to give her some love.

Michal makes a break for it (Liam wasn't really trying to deck her, I promise!)

Off to see the animals - Michal waves to the emu

Walking with Daddy

Smiley girl

Hi, zebras!

We asked Michal what a zebra says.  Her answer? "zeblublublublub."

Off to see who is in the next enclosure - cheetahs.

Seems like a cruel trick on the cheetahs, who occupy the enclosure directly next to the zebras.  I kid you not, the two cheetahs sitting on the hill are watching the zebras, looking like it is lunch time.

Uhm, I'm sorry, where did my baby go and who is this big kid?

Someone was NOT enthused about the pictures

Funny face

Daddy showed up and suddenly smiles appeared.

Silly girl - I think she was trying to jump - she sort of squats down and then stands up.  She thinks she's jumping.

Waving to elephants

Petting a cow butt.  She absolutely loved petting the cow.  Until she realized that she was getting strands of cow hair on her hands, and then she decided she was quite done.

What a fun, busy day. Sleepy goose.
